No Man Should Be an Island

801) Some people do not feel fulfilled unless they are among lots of people, talking, laughing, and enjoying life. This stems from their personalities. Others would rather have little to no company surrounding them because their personality enjoys a smaller circle of people. Is one of these better than the other? I don’t think so.

An Underrated Superpower

800) In our world, we get the idea that the strongest, loudest and the influencers have and hold great power. This may be true in this life, but most can work out to be stronger; can be pushed so far that they become louder and strategize to become a person of greater influence. Proverbs 16:32,

The Appeal of Forbidden Fruit

799) I would not be honest if I didn’t admit that I feel a certain satisfaction in hearing the latest piece of gossip. It is a type of forbidden fruit. The fact that someone else is or was doing something that is questionable helps take the spotlight off of the things I have done that

Saying Grace

798) Grace is a hard thing for us to understand. Its platform is straight-forward. Grace is giving or saying something good to another who deserves judgment. It is not overlooking something another has done wrong. “Well, if I do this, they’ll never change; they will keep treating me this way.” Grace is simply not carrying

Good Intentions

797) Sometimes I have said or done something, intending to help another, only to have it backfire in my face. When this happens, I have gone home feeling defeated, beating myself up for what I thought was a good idea. Proverbs 16:2 tells us that God weighs our motives. It’s easy to think that this

Know-it-alls Close the Doors of Possibilities

796) If you’ve ever encountered a know-it-all (and we all have), you might cringe inside.

Handling Conflict

795) I do not handle confrontation and conflicts well with others. In fact, I would do just about anything to avoid this. This avoidance makes things easier for me in the moment but does not work well in the long-term. If I could remind myself of the wisdom found within Proverbs 15:1, perhaps I’d make

Swords and Arrows

794) When I was in the 6th grade, something happened while playing with the neighborhood kids that I still see vividly in my mind. A bunch of us decided playing darts would be fun. Now, picture five boys and me with sharp darts–what could go wrong? Well, one boy threw his dart and I remember

In the Magnification of Night

793) I don’t know why this is true, but whenever I have some problem on my mind and I awake in the middle of the night, the problem always feels much worse. It’s almost as if my worries, fears and thoughts magnify the trouble that’s on my mind. I have found something that helps this

Responsibility

792) Though the world that our kids are growing up in differs greatly from the one we grew up in, there are many fundament things that haven’t changed. Whenever my students come to me with conflicts, they will often say, “So-and-so made me mad” or “So-and-so made me fight him.” There is a problem with
