The Power of Mercy

708) I became acquainted with the word, mercy, from my grandmother. Being the dear Southern Lady, when it was hot out, she’d say, “Mercy! It’s hot!” She placed the accent on the word by heavily using it on the first syllable. I was much older before I knew that mercy is something of great worth

Envy Is Deadly

707) Envy is one of those things that can enter our lives quietly but then it puts down roots that, when nurtured, make it almost impossible to get rid of. It also has the ability of choking out other healthy roots that were growing within. What is this invasive thing? Envy is a resentment that

The Most Important Job

706) When you are in college, one of the go-to questions you ask when you meet someone new is, what is your major? The reply might be, an engineer, a nurse, a teacher, a doctor. There is, of course, nothing wrong with doing any of these things as a career. But what if God were

The Most Unlikely

705) Have you ever faced a situation when you know God is asking you to do something you weren’t sure you could do? I felt that way when I sensed God had something to say specifically to those who think that He has abandoned them. I did not know God was planning to communicate how

Self-respect Versus Self-adulation

704) There are trends in our world that are humorous. I can’t help but watch another funny cat video. Some trends are phrase-related. If you look at words that have been recently added to our English dictionaries, you might find, selfie, and woke (used in a different way). One trend that particularly catches my ear

A Little Off-target Is Okay?

703) When I was young, my parents allowed me to go to summer camp. I absolutely loved it. One reason was because there were many activities to do. There was canoeing, horseback riding, swimming and more. One summer, I did archery. It looked a lot easier than it was and I don’t think I hit

What is Your Track Record?

702) Recent years have not been civil ones in politics; It seems as if in recent times, we’ve had, in many ways, cutthroat politics. These types of choices have been made continually throughout the ages from the book of Genesis until the present. In 1 Samuel 12, Samuel is giving his farewell speech. He is

Being Different, All Together

701) I have had the privilege of working with kids, mostly in the junior/senior levels for many years. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time observing kids of these ages. Inevitably, I see many of them wanting clothing, shoes, electronics, cars and more simply because everyone else has them. What I think

Give it to God

699) As a writer, I have always been sensitive to words and their meanings. I notice when they seem to be overused (awesome, epic, etc.). As a teacher of writing, I have frequently said to my students, “If you use the word awesome for everything- like, ‘Pizza is awesome,’ what will you say if you

The Problem of Assumptions

698) It can be a very hurtful thing if someone makes an incorrect assumption about you. Take a minute and think of a time this happened. What did it feel like, and why? In 1 Samuel 1:12-16, we find a broken-hearted woman–Hannah. She desperately wants to conceive and have a son, but this chapter tells
