How Loving Benefits You – Part 1

1095) I have a former student whose social media posts include several pictures of her with her son. This student has beautiful red hair and her son’s hair matches hers. This son is definitely the image of his mother. Genesis 1:27 tells us God created us in his image. This image is not physical, but

Sword Fight

1094) Weapons and U.S. citizens’ rights are in the news frequently. The debate is often more about whether weapons make volatile situations better or worse than working on the problem of crime itself. When the dust of this controversy settles, when weapons are needed, if you don’t know how to use them, they can be

Helmets are Important

1093) I did so many stupid things when I was a kid. One of them involved taking my bicycle and jumping ramps that were made of flimsy pieces of plywood propped up on a couple of bricks. What could go wrong? On top of that, I never wore a helmet as many kids do today.

Radar

1092) I have been reading through the books of Corrie Ten Boom this summer and have been blessed in so many ways. If you haven’t read her work, I would encourage you to do so. She was blessed with the ability, often because of her suffering, to effectively address important things in life and one

Feet Conditons

1091) When my siblings and I were young, my parents would not allow us to run barefooted outside until we got home from the last day of school. I can distinctly remember the soft feel of grass under my feet after I took off my shoes outside on this grand day. Depending on where you

On Your Armor or Gods?

1088) I am a disaster thinker. What do I mean by this? I think about what’s coming next in my life, whether it be that day or in the weeks, months and years ahead, and imagine what horrible things can come with it. I do this (often without realizing it, at first) because in my

The Power of Music

1087) Music has always been important to me, so much so that I use a lot of it at school. Every week in my language arts classroom, I pick out 4 songs in a wide range of genres. The students listen to them while following along with the lyrics and we discuss them afterwards. This

Opportunities or Overextending?

1086) Some of the most precious gifts I have received were from people who made themselves available to me for various things. I have been given listening ears, encouraging words, professional advice (in direct reference to my involvement in the arts and in teaching), music lessons, and just plain fun (and these are only some
