God’s Justice: Needed Relief

1258) Everyone handles stress differently. Lately, I’ve been investigating the signs that my body is in distress. First, my stomach feels the beginnings of acid creeping in. Next, my abdominal muscles contract and my breathing becomes faster, denying my body the oxygen it needs because these breaths are too shallow. Finally, my heart rate goes

God’s Justice: Fair Trading’s

1257) For many reasons, too many to list here, I have a soft spot for others who appear to feel remorse whenever they have treated me improperly. It hurts my heart to see someone in pain, even if they are the ones who caused it, and I let them off the hook. But sometimes I

God’s Justice: A Closer Look

1256) I have been assigned jury duty five times. The first time I was assigned was when I was to be on my honeymoon, so, fortunately, I got that waived. The other times, I was called to serve on the panel of jurors. I remember thinking what a responsibility I was given, and I hoped

Miracles are Overrated

1255) Through the years, I have kept a quote book where I jot things that strike me as interesting, intriguing and everything in-between. Here’s one of my favorites: “Faith for a miracle is easier to come by than trusting the Lord when no miracle happens.” Margaret Graham.   Sometimes, we put too much emphasis on

Body Building: Reject Evil

1254) I was afraid of dogs when I was little and when I got old enough to read, I took the signs that said, “Beware of dog” seriously. I remember walking down the sidewalk in my neighborhood and there would be some fenced in yards and, sure enough, a huge, ferocious dog would run at

Body Building: Give Thanks in All Circumstances

1253) My parents and mother-in-law love doing puzzles. For my dad, not only does he love doing them, he makes it much more difficult by working on them with the picture side down. Talk about a challenge! Today’s minute involves puzzles because God tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to give thanks in all circumstances.

Body Building: Pray Continuously

1252) Living on the coast of Maine, almost to the Canadian border, many of you would be surprised how remote we are. The closest Walmart is 50 miles and if you want to go to the movies, you drive just under two hours. Because we are off the beaten path, sort-of-speak, when there are fierce

Body Building: Rejoice Always

1251) Now that I live in (very) rural America, I don’t see police/state trooper cars as often as I did when I lived in other places. Even so, when I see a police vehicle, I always look at how fast I’m going and I have often whispered, No, please no! because I knew I was

Body Building: Strive to Do What’s Good for Others

1250) In my current teaching job, I have been assigned recess duty. I rarely mind it, even when it’s bitterly cold here in Maine. When I’m not actively taking care of some tween calamity, I like to watch the kids play. Lately, one of their favorite games is tag. As you know, one person is

Body Building: Don’t Pay Back Wrongs

1249) My grandfather was an amazing man. He had a great sense of humor and I believe I inherited his storytelling ability. I can remember one time when we were together on my birthday, I opened a card that produced a five-dollar bill. I was so excited; five dollars seemed like so much money, but
