Less Than

Two Gardens 1790) When I “retired” from teaching Bible, my husband and I moved to Maine. Few schools in Maine allow the teaching of the Bible, so I was reassigned to teach language arts to multiple grades of middle school kids. In order to teach in this new field, I had to take several graduate

In the Beginning

1789) Genesis is one of my favorite books of the Bible. There are so many passages that are fascinating to me and there are lessons to be learned within each chapter. For example, when Cain killed his brother, Abel, I clearly see how people can start with one disobedience and it often snowballs into actions

Always

1788) On this new day, let’s spend a moment thinking about the word always. God doesn’t always heal the sick. He doesn’t always give us what we ask. God doesn’t always change our circumstances. He doesn’t always deliver us from difficulties. God doesn’t always heal our animals. You get the idea. BUT God always gives

A Powerful Gift

1787) When Mother’s Day rolls around, I remind my young scholars. I encourage them to make a card for their mothers, letting the children know that something made from their hearts is a valuable gift. We can also give God a valuable gift. It’s found in John 14:15. Here, John simply says, Do you want

Good vs. Trouble

1786) As I read different Bible passages, I have a running dialogue with God. This perhaps sounds better than it is. I simply say, among other things, Hum or Really? When I read Nahum 1:7, The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, I simply say, Good and Trouble? How can God

Looking Ahead

1785) If you’re at least as old as me (one who is no longer middle-aged, unless we typically live to about 120), if you had the possibility to know the future, you would scream, No Way! There are so many things if I had known ahead of time, it would have made things worse and

An Unusual Audit

1784) Every year, getting our tax information together and filed seems to get more complicated. It makes me wonder that all of us don’t get audited by the IRS because it’s so easy to make mistakes. In reflecting on audits, James 4:11 comes to mind. Here, James tells us not to speak evil of our

Identities

1783) I live on coastal Maine, almost to the border of Canada. A friend of mine and I recently took a trip across the border and when we went, we had to have one of a limited list of things to prove our identities. A passport is what the border patrol wants to see but

Lighting is Everything

1782) I bought a decorative lamp recently and placed it in an area in my living room that had no other light source. Later that evening, when I turned it on, I saw the room I have been in for over 20 years look very different. As I looked at the light and the room,

Deliver Us from Evil

1781) If you spend any time watching or reading about the current news, it can be very discouraging. In fact, it seems evil grows day by day. There are some types of evil we have little control over, though we can do all in our power to thwart it. When evil floods into our world,
