Grace is Better

633) In a lot of ways, rules work for me. I know or am taught what the rules are and I do my best to keep them and this allows me to measure how well I am living for God. The best Biblical example of these rules are the 10 Commandments. The problem with this

Give of Yourself Fully

631) When we read in the Bible or other books or hear sermons on the subject, it’s easy to assume what “giving of yourself fully” can mean. It must mean to always use the gifts God gave us and work to exhaustion. Even the Greek word for fully, περισσεύω, communicates going “above and beyond”. Yet,

What Growing Up Means

630) In our society, today, it’s not unusual for kids to continue living with their parent(s) into their 20’s or even 30’s. There are many reasons for this but I wonder if some may stay because being a “child” can be easier than being an adult. 1 Corinthians 13:11 addresses this issue in the spiritual

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.

Teaching Tools

628) As a classroom teacher, I have found through the years that my students often learned the lesson I had for them on each day better when I wrapped it in a story. These stories are often 2–3-minute descriptions of something I have experienced in life, and since I value a sense of humor, many

No Barriers

627) The school where I teach sits on a curve on a state road. Lobster fishermen rushing to their boats, trap makers wanting to get to their jobs so they can eventually go home and impatient parents trying to get their kids to school occupy this road. As I drive home from school at the

Joy is not Situation Specific

626) Happiness and joy are easily mixed up. Happiness comes from the outside, how your day plays out, how others interact with you and what you have seen or heard. Joy is reaped from within; when we are at peace with God, our families, those in our work or social circles. It is possible to

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

The Least Likely

624) When I taught high school, it was easy to notice how many teens evaluated each other. The ones that were the best looking, most athletic, and/or had the best personalities were in the center of these teens’ social worlds. It’s interesting to see that since then, many of the ones who were average-looking, uncoordinated

The Power of Light

623) Light is powerful. We need the sunlight to be healthy and to grow food. If we were to lose electricity on a dark and rainy day, we can feel its absence. The antidote to darkness is light and not the other way around. Jesus said He is the light of the world. He does
