Let’s Talk about Boundaries

729) There are some of us that often take on the blame for situations that we were not responsible for. We could go into all kinds of psychological reasons for this, but placing boundaries and keeping them there is very difficult. As I read 1 Kings 18:16-19 and the chapter surrounding it, I have tried

The Price of Faith

728) Faith is easy, right? You just close your eyes real tight and wish with all your might. No? That’s not faith? Well… what is it? Faith is illustrated in 1 Kings 17:7-14. There was a famine in the land and Elijah and the people faced a life-or-death crisis. One day, he came upon a

Provision’s Packages

727) It’s easy to accept that God promises to take care of the needs of His children, but what can be harder is accepting the way God may choose to provide. Yes, we need shelter, but perhaps this means a house that has black countertops, no air conditioning in the deep South, not enough room

Advice or Accomplice?

726) Through the years, I have kept a quote book where I write things I have read that stand out to me. One of them is by Marquis de la Grange who said, “When we ask for advice; we are usually looking for an accomplice.” We see this very thing in 1 Kings 12:1-11 when

Modus Operandi

725) Modus operandi is a Latin term for the way you operate or do things. Unfortunately, there is something that many of us frequently do that we have no business doing; that is judging the motives of others. No matter how much we’re “sure” or how much seems obvious from other’s actions, we cannot discern

A Mother’s Love

724) The other day, my husband was riding his dirt bike “up country” as they call places such as the “unorganized territories” here in Maine. As he came around a curve, he came face to face with a mother bear and her three cubs. Any prudent person who has the misfortune of coming between the

Wise Guy

723) The other day, I was looking for something and I stumbled across some of my wedding pictures. I smiled as I looked at that young girl, and then I shook my head. If only I could be the person I am now, in that girl’s body. We have the opportunity and responsibility to learn

The Value of a Gift

722) Gifts are often hard to appraise. Is a brand-new sports car more valuable than $5.00? The surprising answer is, “No”. Why? Because the value of a gift is determined by what it cost the giver. If a millionaire gives you $500.00, that’s great, but it’s not as valuable as the widow who gives you

The Responsibilities of Being a Leader

721) Each school year there comes a time when my students weary of the routines we must have in my classroom. Even though, I rearrange and package these things differently, some have the idea if they were the teacher, it would be so much better. A few times, I have turned over the reins to

Freedom Comes in Different Packages

720) Throughout world history, there have been and are multiple times when one group of people enslaves another. There is no valid excuse for this and we would be so much better off without it. In light of this, have you considered that there are other types of slavery? How about the slavery of emotions?
