Approval Seeking

953) As a teacher of young teens, I’ve noticed that most of them want my approval and they seek it in different ways. Some come and show me how much they wrote in their journal each day, or they may tell me of some accomplishment with a hopeful look on their face. It’s easy for

Overachievers are Overrated

952) I have mentioned before that I work too much. It’s hard for me to take a break and let things go for a while. I’ve tried to analyze why I do this (while doing something else, of course) and I wonder if I have the idea that always doing something productive is what God

The Wills Have It

951) There are many of us who frequently use the phrase, God’s will. It’s incorporated in our statements. If it is God’s will, we will do thus and such. It’s included in prayers. Please answer my prayer if it’s your will. We may say it to others. Only do it if it’s God’s will. These

The Lies that Bind

950) People lie for different reasons. Kids often do to avoid getting in trouble. Adults make this choice when they have rationalized why it is necessary, such as, I’m  just being tactful. I’m not trying to get into the judgment of which lies are ok, if they indeed are, and which are not. This is

Acknowledgment is Important

949) Deep in my quote book, where I have written many tidbits I find important or wise, there is a sentence that says that hatred isn’t as hard to deal with as apathy. Why did I find this sentence worth recording in my book? Because until that time, I thought that being hated is the

What You Ask for and What You Get

948) There are over 100 verses in the Bible where God admonishes us to ask him for things. Matthew 7:7 says, Ask and it will be given to you. Jeremiah 33:3 says, Call unto me and I will answer you. 1 John 3:22 says, And whatever we ask, we receive from him. These verses (and

The Fruit of Betrayal

947) Betrayal is one of the most difficult emotions to deal with. It gives a pain that is horrendous and often becomes deep-rooted. It is not something that a person can just “snap out of.” Often accompanied with betrayal is shame and fear, easily leading to anger. These situations often leave the wounded reeling. Betrayal

Balance is Good

946) When I hear figures of speech or quotes, I often wonder where it originated. One example I heard here in Downeast Maine is, she’s tougher than a boiled owl. I immediately knew what the speaker was communicating, but I wondered about its origin. One source said that it comes from a book in 1857

What About Him?

945) As someone who has spent the last 36 years with kids, I know them fairly well. For example, my students, even when I taught high school, will often believe anything I tell them. Because of this, it’s fun to yank their chains every once-in-a-while. If I am absent one day, when I return the

The Ridiculous

944) I enjoy going fishing. I must admit it’s been a few years since I have been, but I enjoy it. One of my fondest memories as a child was when my grandfather took me fishing for the first time. He took a long stick, added a fishing line, bobber and hook and baited the
