No Abuse

1563) I have had a series of doctor’s appointments recently for various reasons, and at each place, the “check-in” desk has a sign that clearly states, “Our staff will not tolerate abuse.” When I read these signs, I shook my head, wishing they weren’t necessary. Unfortunately, they are. We are living in a world that

Two Important Things

1562) Some of the most precious gifts have come from others who have shown me genuine love and kindness, both of which come from God. (1 John 4:16). When these types of love and kindness show up, it can really take me by surprise. I rarely expect people to love and be kind to me,

The Way Life Used to Be

1561)  Our brains are amazing. The few books I have read about them are so interesting. For example, the brain can adapt and when drugs or PTSD alter it, it can heal. Another amazing thing the brain gives us is the ability to remember. It’s possible to conjure up events from decades ago with a

I Can’t Imagine

1560)  MercyMe sings a song, I Can Only Imagine, which I’m sure many of you have heard. In the song, the singer wonders what it will be like to be with Jesus in heaven forever. He ponders what his reaction will be when he arrives and what he’ll do. It’s a beautiful song. When I

Watch What You Cannot See

1559) Going to the eye doctor is a little frustrating. If you need to have your glasses prescription adjusted, you usually go through visual calisthenics when the doctor says, “Is this one better or is this one?” I cannot answer most of these comparison questions. They often look the same to me. Another frustrating admonition

More Work?

1558) When I was in high school, I worked at a Hallmark store, back when physical cards and such were much desired. I enjoyed working there and I remember the closer the Christmas season came, the busier our store would get. I enjoyed the busyness. It kept me on my feet, making the hours I

Gifts Wrapped in Ugly Paper

1557) I’m not sure who came up with the ugly sweater thing several years ago, but I find it interesting what one person considers ugly isn’t necessarily ugly to me and vice versa. We can view gift wrap similarly. Some wrap is beautiful and others can be overwhelmingly “busy” in its design and unpleasing to

I Am Here

1556) Just about every adult knows that when a child tells you they can’t find something, it’s probably there in plain view. I see this a lot in the classroom. I’ll ask the kids to get out something and there will be at least one in every class who will say, “I can’t find it.”

Special Among Specials

1555) I used to think something can only be special if nothing else around it was. After all, the essence of the word special means better or greater, so my thinking that nothing is special if everything is special makes sense. Matthew 18:12-14 helps shed some light on my struggle. Here, Jesus tells his disciples

I’ve Been Laid Off

1554) There was a time in my teaching district when they were going to close two schools to save money and resources. Because I had only been teaching in this district for a few years, I knew the administration would likely lay me off. Fortunately, I wasn’t but others were. It’s a scary thing to
