Patterns

1003) I see people using patterns regularly, especially at school. If my students are working on a project about their favorite book, they usually take their laptops and look for a pattern and draw on their papers what they see. If I ask the class to answer something by putting their thumbs up or down,

The Value of Blood

1002) I have a confession to make. The few times I watch TV, I occasionally will see the ASPCA commercials with abused and down-and-out animals. When these commercials come on, I quickly change the channel or leave the room. I can’t stand to see these horrific pictures. This leads me to think that had there

From, Through and For

1001) “From,” “Through,” and “For” are three small words that are seemingly unimportant, but are they? They are very important if you’re reading, Romans 11:36. “For from him (God) and through him and for him are all things…” In this verse, Paul first states that from God, all things come. What things? James 1:17 tells

1000 Minutes! Can You Believe It?

Today is an important milestone; it marks the 1,000th  minute I have written. I’d like to ask that you go back a little in time with me and be amazed by all God has done. Why did I start writing these “minutes?” When I started my blog, I began with writing a subject-specific 1,000ish word reflection weekly.

Let’s Say Grace

999) Here we go again; the subject is grace. I write about this often because I have the need to explore and understand this glorious gift. As I think about grace, my mind goes back to my first year at Bible college. I found myself in a dilemma that in my mind was horrible; a

Don’t Reject these Gifts

998) I am like most teachers; I spend a lot of my money on my students and things I use in class. I think I would be shocked to know the total amount I have spent over the past 36 years (and counting). I’m more than happy to do this, but there are a few

Love’s Test

997) When I was young, I thought I knew what love was. After all, you just need to experience it and it was like a drug. It made me feel so good, I just couldn’t get enough of it. As I grew older, I came to understand that love is demonstrated amid difficulties. When death,

Adoption

996) Through the years, I’ve known several people who have been adopted. Because I have always wondered how people think, act and react, it’s been interesting to look at these legal ties from both the adoptive parent (s) and the “adoptees”.   Many people who adopt are those who yearn to open their homes and

Nothing!

995) My students find out quickly when they arrive in my classroom at the beginning of the year that if I say, No about something, I will not change my mind 10 minutes later. It’s usually about a month before they stop asking again. I guess some of them are a little slow at learning

The Twists of Satan

994) One weapon I think Satan loves to use against us is when he takes something that God gives us and twists this gift into a package of uselessness. One of these things is the grace and forgiveness God gives us. When I do something wrong, instead of telling God (and anyone else involved) I’m
