Last Days: Disobedient to Parents

1304) As a teacher in the upper third decade of working with children, I have seen many changes. In my first couple of years, my students were grounded in families of love and accountability. I could see this plainly in my dealings with both the kids and the parents. As the years have passed, this

Last Days: Abusive

1303) Paul reveals in 2 Timothy 3:2 that in the last days, people will be abusive. This word conjures up a specific image in my mind and, had I not researched further into this word in the original Greek language Paul was using, I would not know that a better translation here would be blasphemous.

Last Days: Proud

1302) When my three siblings and I were young, my mother often had the privilege of taking all four of us to the grocery store. It was a time we children found an adventure, but I’m pretty sure my mother did not. (I understand this now, Mom!) There were many entertaining things to do at

Last Days: Boastful

1301) A song on my playlist currently is What You Think I Am by The Choir. It’s there because of the powerful energy of the music but also because of the line, “I’m a whole lot better and a whole lot worse, than what you think I am.” As the song reveals, people are complex.

Last Days: Lovers of Money

1300) I was fortunate to have stumbled upon Seth Godin and his marketing seminars. (In fact, Seth is the person I credit the idea of writing these minutes. He does the same with daily short, yet powerful emails about marketing.) The things I learned continue to be helpful in promoting all of my writing. I

Last Days: Lovers of Self

1299) The first sign in 2 Timothy 3:1-4, that we are living in the last days is a topic I wrestle with. Paul tells us that people will be lovers of self. On the one hand, I do have a responsibility to the world I live in to present the best version of myself I

The Last Days

1298) Throughout the history of the world, there have always been those who seem obsessed with the End Times or, as some call it, the end of the world. Some are even bold enough to set dates for when this will happen, which is interesting since Jesus specifically stated even he did not know when

Can you Relate? Gentleness

1297) While growing up, my parents had the wisdom to require that we help around the house. They knew we needed these skills to not only help at the time but for when we had our own homes. In requiring these things, sometimes our small hands did not have the experience to know when washing

Can you Relate? Not Resentful

1296) I read a delightful novel, The Remember Box by Patricia Sprinkle, and wrote a line found within in my quote book. The line is: Folks can’t get your goat, ‘less you tell ‘em where it’s tied. My using this bit of wisdom doesn’t work within my classroom as my kids don’t know what “get

Can you Relate? Teachable

1295) In my years as a teacher, I have had the opportunity to conduct workshops for adults. I have enjoyed this, usually, but I must admit, the hardest group of adults I have had to teach are when I am speaking to other teachers. I’m not sure why this is, but I’m guessing some of
