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. This is because when you listen to someone who believes they know everything about a specific subject, you understand that they really don’t. They may be knowledgeable, but cannot possibly know all there is to know. It’s easy to identify

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

The Value of Hope

791) It’s been several years since I read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a psychiatrist who was a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during WWII. In Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl writes of the different ways prisoners around him responded to the horrific things that happened when held captive. As he spoke

Generosity

790) My grandmother was one of the most generous people I’ve known. If she thought you needed something, if she could, she would get it. She never hesitated to give of anything she had, including love. Proverbs 11:25 tells us that giving to others brings blessings to yourself. This is a fact that my dear
