Leave Her Be

1634) Recently I took my young scholars sledding and snowshoeing. This year was a little different, my 6th graders went with our preschoolers. How did that go? It went very well and many of my older kids looked after the younger ones. During the events of the day, there was a little girl who went

How’s Your Eyesight?

1633) Have you ever been working at something at your desk and searched everywhere for your pencil only to discover that it is behind your ear? If someone were to witness this, they may tell you it’s obvious where your pen is. That’s because some things are obvious to others that we often overlook (or

Kissing Your Mama

1632) There is a lot to be said about how we use our words. Why? Because, as Matthew 12:36-37 tells us, we can use our words to be justified (I believe this to mean asking for salvation) or condemned (not asking, among other things). When at school, my young scholars are not allowed to use

Silent Battles

1631) I’m currently working on the second book of the Boone Tails children’s picture book series. It’s a story about a little dachshund who wakes up in Bible times and, unlike the first book, Sweet Dreams, Boone, the second one finds Boone in Old Testament times. As Boone learns the importance of following God’s guidance

Bad Company

1630) When children are growing up, many adults will advise them to be careful in choosing their friends. Why? Because we wise adults know some friendships do more harm than good. We would never make that same mistake, would we? Unfortunately, we don’t always choose wisely, either. We may meet people at our job or

Grace Upon Grace

1629) It is a natural thing to notice the negative first. The things that happen during the day may run through your mind and, for many, the list of negative things comes easily, but the life God has given us contains many blessings. John 1:16 tells us we have all received grace upon grace. (Remember,

The Work of Angels

1628) There is a lot of inaccurate information in our culture about angels. One misconception is when people die, they become angels. You will not find this concept anywhere in the bible. Another one is that an angelic form of Saint Peter is going to be waiting at the gate of heaven, and he will

A Difficult Command

1627) If someone asked me what are some of the most difficult things I know that God asks of us, I would list things like controlling anger or loving our enemies. I would not have listed the first command mentioned in Titus 3:2, though it truly should be at the top of our list of

Exceeding Expectations

1626) As a published author, my success (or not) often depends on the reviews people leave of my books. Not only do these reviews hold weight with readers, it often moves my books up in the algorithm of the site which sells them. Because I understand the value of reviews, I try to be as

Predictablility

1625) A while ago, my mother gave me my “baby book” that was filled with things from my childhood. Within this book, I found a note from my kindergarten teacher, and I was amazed at her discernment of me. She wrote, when Susan can predict what is going on, then she can learn. I read
