Bodies, Old and New

1535) As children, our bodies (usually) grow bigger and stronger. When this growth and strength reaches its peak, our bodies begin to shrink and weaken. Is there anything we can do about this? Not really. We can keep fit, giving this degeneration a slower pace but, ultimately, our bodies will wear out. Paul addresses this

Down or Up?

1534) Many years ago, we had a special 2-day “workshop” for all our students at the high school where I taught. There were many things about it that were very good and one comes to mind as I read 1 Corinthians 15:33. “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts

Just the Way You Are

1533)  In my junior high years, I discovered the radio and whenever I had a chance, I would tune in to listen. One song that was released at this time was the song by Billy Joel, Just the Way You Are and I can remember thinking as I listened, Will I find someone special who

Heart of Stone

1532) Life in this world is hard. There is death, betrayal, violence, and words that wound. If you have lived as long as I have, you’ve had your share of these things. If the pain that resulted from this is strong enough, it’s easy to do all you can to turn your emotions off and

Rest Revisited

1531) When I read verses like Jeremiah 31:2, I have a hard time understanding it. Here, Jeremiah reminds us that Israel survived the sword and were blessed in the wilderness. I think this is referring to Israel’s time wandering in the desert before going into the promised land. Even if I’m wrong about this notion,

Wild Berries

1530) Here in Maine, we have several fruits that grow wild. We have strawberries, blackberries, apples, raspberries, and blueberries. As is often the case, these wild berries have a better taste than their cultivated kin. The strawberries, for example, are often no bigger than the tip of my pinkie but they pack a powerful flavor.

Pass It On

1529) When I was a kid, we would sing a song called Pass It On. It is a song whose notes I hear 50 years later. This song reminds us God loves us and we should pass it on to others. We find this admonition to pass on to others what God has done for

It Doesn’t Work!

1528) One thing I’ve struggled to reconcile within me is the fact that in so many places in the Bible, when someone cries out to God, he grants whatever they ask for. I struggle with this because the times I have cried out to God in this same manner, he doesn’t seem to answer it

So Many Enemies

1527) When I read the Psalms, I find that David spends a lot of time talking to God about all his enemies. This makes sense to me, as I know David lived in a time when Israel had many enemies and war was often imminent. As David processes yet another attack, we see many verses

A Fight to Eternity

1526) There have been a few times in my life when I experienced the warmth and gratitude of someone sticking up for me. You see, I find sticking up for myself difficult for multiple reasons, but when someone else does, the relief, gratitude and joy is palpable. These thoughts lead me to my wedding vows,
