Throw It!

1488) Occasionally, I’ll take my classes outside for a game of kickball. You remember it, don’t you? I love to watch them because it’s amusing to see how good or bad the kids can kick or throw. I can’t help but smile when a kid is only 25 feet from first base and they overthrow

It’s a Lie

1487) Lying is a behavior that often takes root within without our knowledge. Some people have done it so long, they don’t even realize they’re lying. If you’re like me, you want to know why people lie, but in reality; it doesn’t really matter. There are many types of lies. The ones my students try

Time Traveler

1486) I have the habit of choosing to live in another time zone. Either my mind takes me to the past or into the future. Confusing? Not really. When I feel something uncomfortable and act or react to something in the present, my mind takes me back to things of the past. I guess I

Fighting in Quicksand

1485) It’s interesting to consider what happens when we sleep and dream. My dog Cayce, for example, will often “woof” in his sleep and I wonder what he can be dreaming about. Another repeated occurrence with me is the dream that I’m in some kind of danger, but I can’t run because my feet and

Listening is Hard Work

1484) School has just started for me and one thing that wears me out is the demand for my attention. I have wondered how many times my name has been called out during a single day. Would it be upward to 100? It seems like it. When all the children in a classroom call on

Miracles Can Be Overrated

1482) I have a confession to make. Sometimes I think those in the Bible who experienced miracles from God had an edge when it comes to faith. My reasoning is, if you have the blessing of seeing and living in a miracle, then faith is easier to come by. But is this the truth? How

There is Hope

1481) I have mentioned before that watching the news or reading my newsfeeds can be extremely disheartening. I know it’s the job of journalists to report what is going on and that “bad” news sells more than good, but it gets to be so discouraging. I see anger, hurt, confusion, ruthlessness, unkindness, and more. I

We are not Meant to Be Islands

1480) Growing up, one of my favorite shows was Gilligan’s Island, and I still watch it from time to time. The show portrays an innocence of life, but I always wondered what it would be like to be stranded on an island with 6 other people. I guess my answer would be; it depends on

Good Advice

1479) I have received some great advice through the years and one of them is, if you have to talk yourself into something, you probably shouldn’t do it. This is not to mean that if you’re scared, always back away. Instead, I am referring to the times when you have to make a decision and
