Rest is Underrated

621) One year, I had to accompany a group of 8th graders on a trip to Boston. We left the school at 4:30 am and returned at 3:30 am the next day. I guess I was the lucky teacher because I got assigned the 4 rowdiest boys to chaperone.  This was the first – and

Foundations Matter

620) If a home is built on a faulty foundation, who would be interested in buying it? Yet, sometimes it’s hard to evaluate because it’s often hidden underneath the rest of the house. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus said that the wise build on a rock foundation and the unwise on the one made of sand.

I Am a Murderer

619)I wonder if anyone has considered the fact that, according to Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:21-22, we’re all murderers. If we’ve ever thought or felt like killing someone, it is murder. We can murder someone when we’re angry at them, after all, what is the emotion behind murder? We can destroy peoples’ spirit with the

They Sure Are Blessed!

618) It’s easy to think that those who have been given much on this earth are blessed. I think this can be true but sometimes we mistake wealth, power, knowledge and talent as God’s sign the He is rewarding such people. Again, this can be true but, Matthew 5:3-10 tells us specific things we can

Now or Later

617) We now live in a culture that embraces the “right now” mentality. If you don’t immediately text, call or receive something you ordered, many get irritated or even angry. Much of what God instructs us to do have a greater outcome in the long run than in the short. Jesus said to give now

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

My Statement of Faith

614) There have been several events in my life recently that I’ve had to depend on faith in ways I’ve never had to. I found myself saying to God, “You say the ‘just shall live by faith’ but I’m struggling. Whatever You decide (in these situations), I will accept it, by faith.” Sounds like dedication,

Seeing is Believing, Right?

613) Having grown up in church, I am well-acquainted with the typical “Bible stories.” One of them is the details of an angel visiting Joseph concerning Mary and instructing him to marry her. I might think, No wonder Joseph believed. If an angel came and visited me, I would believe, too. These verses tell us

A Confused Orange

611) What if an orange was convinced it was an apple. It could yell out “I’m an apple.” It can try to get in on the apple picking industry. It can take food coloring to try and change its peeling appearance. It doesn’t matter what it tries to do, it’s still an orange. Jesus spoke
