Grace isn’t about Fair

Grace isn’t About Fair 1681) As a teacher, one of the most difficult interactions I have with my young scholars concerns fairness. If they see me giving someone a “lighter” consequence than they receive, it’s stirs them up. Of course, at their age, it’s hard to understand that different isn’t necessarily inequitable. As much as

Gifts for Free

1680) Since I have worked at my second career, writing, I have read tons of newsletters focusing on this subject. I have incorporated several things I learned there. For example, I read if you are writing something daily, number them, so your readers know there are posts they can look back to or catch up

Illusions

1679) Magic tricks have fascinated me. I love to watch what seems to happen, when they were, most of the time, just an illusion. Illusions are things that look like one thing but are, in fact, another. We see an example of this in the magicians imitating a few of the plagues of Egypt. Exodus

Reverse Perspective

1678) When I was just starting out in my serious pursuit of writing, I read it might be interesting to switch stories or circumstances around and see what your creativity can produce. For example, instead of writing about a child being afraid of what they may find under their bed, write about the monster under

Follow the Leader

1677) When I was a kid, I would sometimes play Follow the Leader with my friends. It’s interesting how this game morphed into peer pressure as a teen. At this age, many are so desiring to fit in, they will often follow those they deem important, even though the path is leading right to disaster.

The Power of Mercy

1676) I have often thought rules were the most important things. If there’s something I’m supposed to do, then failure to do them is sin. This is true, but my question is, how does mercy fit into this? Mercy, simply defined, is not getting a punishment or judgment I deserve. This does not mean what

Fishing

1675) Have you ever had someone be nice to you when all they were after was something you could do for them? You could be someone who understands economics. You could be one who knows how to build decks. You might be someone who knows “influential” people. Whatever accomplishments you may have, there will often

The Consultant

1674) From time to time, usually when walking my dog, I reflect on the person I am now, versus when I was 20. There is so much I now understand that I thought I did then, when in reality, I did not. I have wished there had been some way to have had the wisdom

Later

1673) Growing up, I heard the word, “later”, frequently and I find I use it a lot with my young scholars. When I asked certain things of my parents, an easy answer was, “Later.” Why is this an easy answer? Because there is no dialogue that is necessary beyond this pronouncement. “Later” can mean a

An Important Test

1672) I never was great at taking tests when I was in school. If there was a project-based assessment, I excelled, but when it came to question and answer tests, not so much. Now, as an adult, I don’t have to be concerned about this, right? No. There are driver’s tests, budgeting demands, trying to
