Gift Giving

1730) I recently gave a brief writing assignment to my young scholars. They had to succinctly describe three things they are good at and three they are not. When I walked around the room, it didn’t surprise me they quickly provided me with three things they couldn’t do well and struggled to list the things

Small Represents Large

1729) Have you ever taken the time to figure out how many voices bombard you each day? The obvious ones are from people you see and live with, but have you considered the voices who barge into our lives via newspapers, reading, newsfeeds, polls of all nature, newscasts and more? Now think about what they

Loving Motivations

1728) I’ve been thinking about what motivates people to do things. Motivators can include good health, a paycheck, the rules of the court, fear, and social obligations. Some of these aren’t bad things to motivate you and yet there is one that needs to be at the top of our list and that is love.

The Cost of Attention

1727) When I was growing up, my siblings and I would sometimes play Monopoly. Sometimes these games were so intense, they went on for hours. I remember rounding a corner on the board and landing on something owned by one of my brothers and having to pay “rent” repeatedly. Depending on how well (or bad)

Unjustified Blame

1726) Blame is a subject that attracts powerful emotions. Somehow, in our minds, we try to make sense of difficult things and blame can take a major role in our processing. If we choose to look for “blame,” though, it’s hard to identify who belongs in this spotlight because our emotions can interfere with clear

Who’s Your Boss?

1725) The month of May is an interesting time to be teaching. You’ve got the excitement of end-of-the-year type activities. You have spring weather (though, here in Maine, not always) and Staff and Teacher appreciation week. At our school, our administration does so much to keep the teachers and staff encouraged and appreciated. It makes

Revealed and Not Revealed

1724) There’s a verse in the Old Testament that I remember a professor in Bible college commenting on and it’s found in Deuteronomy 29:29. It says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of

First Place

1723) From time to time, I’ll see a video clip online which shows a group of runners jumping hurdles. It always catches my interest because I know I couldn’t do what they seem to do so well. Running is one thing, but jumping the hurdles, one after another, is admirable. As I meditate on Matthew

Wood Supply

1722) Here in Maine, my husband spends a lot of time cutting firewood. For those of you not familiar with the routine, there are many steps between a tree and stacked by the woodstove. First, he must cut a tree, limb it, cut it into smaller pieces, split it, move it, stack it and then

God Sees Me

1721) Life can be cruel at worst and difficult, often. Amid these things, it’s easy to think you’re all alone. Why? Because the fierce waves of your situation can wash over you and when this happens, it’s very hard to stand and not drown. It is in times like this when Genesis 16:13 can truly
