The Pain of Avoidance

780) I was in my 5th decade of life before I realized that the need to be in “control” of things is really the symptom of avoidance. I somehow got the idea that to control what pain may come my way, such as not getting close to others or getting another pet, I could avoid

Young Love and Old Wisdom

695) Sometimes while I’m driving, I hear a song that puts me in a mental time machine and before I know it, I am 35 or more years in the past. If I take the time to follow through in my thinking, I smile and then cringe when my naivete screamed when I judged what

Are You a Skeptic?

686) If you have heard someone say that a person should not question God either in words or actions, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate this. I’m not thinking it’s wrong to bring up these types of things with God it’s more of what your motivation is. For example, I tell my students that if they

Love is a Verb

629) Some evenings, when my husband and I are sitting together reading our separate books, I marvel at how our relationship has changed through 30-plus years of marriage. In the beginning, love was all-encompassing. It was a time of extreme highs (and sometimes, extreme lows). The love we share now manifests itself in gentler ways.

Rain: An Equal Playing Field

625) When I was younger, it was easy to conclude that God favored some over others. I did not understand that God wants everyone to come to Him and He loves all equally. After all, He sends the rain on the just and the unjust. We are all eligible for God’s forgiveness and, in this

Loving Is an Act of Worship

616) I remember the months before I was married. That feeling of joy was all-encompassing. I smile when I think about it because the love I have now for my husband is so much deeper. Love is thrown around a lot. It’s easy to make an event over a marriage proposal but not so easy

A Love that Endures

604) Think of the loving relationships you have had during your life. Some of them have endured through the connection of family and others glowed for a while. The love that God gives us surpasses all of the loves we have known. Jeremiah 31:3 tells us that God’s love is everlasting. In spite of knowing

Just Sit

585) It is always difficult to know what to do when someone you care about is going through “hell on Earth.” My tendency is to try and fix things for them but, unfortunately, most of these types of situations cannot be simply “fixed.” There is one thing we can do for others; we can simply

Emotional Addictions

571) It’s easy to think that I have no addictions because I don’t drink regularly nor take illegal drugs. Yet, there are addictions that are subtle. How about being addicted to giving to others so I feel good when they say, ‘Thank you’? How about testing my love ones by treating them less than I

Spiritual Court Judges

560) Our Supreme Court has a serious job. They must listen to all the facts with discernment and then, dole out a sentence if necessary. These judges have immersed themselves in the law, many for decades, and yet, I feel I am qualified to judge and sentence myself continually. James 2:13 tells me that mercy
