People Pleasers

1235) There are several things about myself I really dislike. (OK, there’s more than just several!) I do not like it when people are mad, irritated, ticked off or just plain old don’t like me. I know, can a woman in her late 50s still care about such things? Well, I don’t care as much

The Power of Tiny

1234) A couple of summers ago, my husband became very sick. Both of us assumed he had Covid as we were still amid the pandemic. He was deathly ill, and we later found out that was not an exaggeration. We got to the hospital, and he was hooked up to machines that registered his heart

Counterfeit Peace

1232) It’s Christmas and my mind goes back to what I know about Jesus’ birth. There is one line from the Christmas story in Luke 2 that I think about almost every day of the year. It’s found in verse 14, “peace on earth.” The subject of peace is something I wrestle with regularly because

Hope Can Be Misunderstood

1231) Christmas for children is a magical time. I remember when I was small, how hard it was to go to sleep on Christmas Eve because of what I hoped was there for me under the decorated tree. These remembrances caused me to think of the words Paul said of the believers in 1 Thessalonians

Love and Labor

1230) I had a dog, Boone, for 11 years that was rarely healthy. I guess his first two years were fine, but by the end of his second year, among other things, allergies were a major problem. I discovered he was allergic to four major ingredients that are found in most dog foods (besides over

The Myth of Buy One, Get One Free

1229) Everyone likes a bargain. As the owner of two small businesses, I have taken marketing courses on how to best utilize discounts profitably. Because of this, I have learned how big business capitalizes on the psychology of marketing. For example, a person is offered, buy two, get the third one free, when in reality,

Are You on Speaking Terms?

1228) I read once about a couple who had so many disagreements, they literally drew a line through their home and one side belonged to the wife and the other side belonged to the husband. The relationship was so bad, they hadn’t spoken with each other in years; they just existed in the same household.

Whatever

1227) Whenever someone asks me what aged kids I teach, when I tell them tweens and teens, they often follow through with, “I don’t know how you do it.” I often will nod my head because as much as I love working with kids this age, there are some things that are difficult. One of

Are You a Teacher?

1225) For many years I have been on the recipient end of teaching, whether it be as a student, a member of a congregation or as a teacher receiving professional development. Because of this, I can tell right away if the speaker is an effective teacher. In college, we debated whether someone is a born

Umpires

1224) There are at least two jobs I would never choose to have. One is being a school bus driver and the other, an umpire. I don’t know how school bus drivers do it. I would either lose my mind or go to jail. Umpires fall close to these same feelings and reactions. Have you
