There’s Something About Me I Don’t Like About You

759) It’s interesting to note that often the things about others that irritate me are many times the same things that I do. I am quick to spot the sawdust in another’s eyes and completely miss the 2 by 4 in my own. Taking this thought one step further, I read once that a liar

Unhelpful Christian Platitudes

758) Growing up in church and attending Christian schools and college, I have heard my share of Christian platitudes.

Fruit Juice

751) When I lived in Florida many years ago, we had orange trees that grew in our backyard. I remember the first time I saw the mature oranges, and I was not impressed. They had mildew on them and they were anything but attractive and yet, when I picked one and peeled the skin off,

A Beautiful Field

750) What do you see or focus on? It’s so easy to get lost in the forests of life and not see the beautiful field next to it. Yes, the stand of trees, vines, rocks, thorny bushes, ditches and dimness of light is before you, but do you remember that, according to the map you
