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

Amazing Love

1623) John 3:16 is such a familiar verse that sometimes we don’t look at it closely, which is good to do from time to time. The verse starts out, For God so loved the world. We’ll stop there. Who does “the world” include? Yes, all people throughout history and the future, but let’s dig a

Not Alone

1622) Sometimes I’ve had to do some tough things. Just the thought of dealing with them has been overwhelming. One thing that has added to this stress is when I believe I am alone in the situation, feelings, confrontations, and more. Please note the words I believe. When I believe I am alone, I am

A Gentleman?

1621) Studying Shakespeare was always difficult for me. I found myself reading each line and having to rewrite it in my brain to figure out what he meant and this process took too long, so I’d always get bogged down. There is one line of the play King Lear that does not take me long

Face to Face

1616) One struggle I have in my faith is the fact that when I’m trying to carry on a conversation with God (prayer), I cannot look at his face. I learn a lot from looking at the face of the person with whom I am speaking. I also can hear their words in return. This

One Day

1615) Growing up, I’d think about how wonderful being an adult will be. I get to make the decisions. I get to go anywhere I want, at anytime I want. You get the idea. But, as all of you adults know, when I finally got there, I realized being an adult had many responsibilities I

Against the Grain

1614) There are often times in my classroom when a phrase or idiom I’ve used all of my life will come up in reading or discussion. I’ve found that my young scholars do not know them. One example is to say something is going against the grain. Of course, we know this means whatever we’re
