Offensive Examined

1715) The word offensive has been in the forefront of media coverage for a while. What used to mean an action that rubbed against or completely broke the morals of a group of people now has become any action or word that another person doesn’t like. So, under this definition, everyone is offensive and experiences

Rubber Bands and Butterflies

1714) A few years ago, I stumbled across a place that was selling butterflies that could fly with a rubber band propulsion. I pictured the faces of my young scholars if I put a wound up one in each of their laptops, so when they opened them, the butterflies would fly out. I got them

Hold Up

1713) John Doone wrote in 1624, no man is an island and yet, how many of us believe we are? Sometimes I make myself an island without realizing it. My thinking is, I am the one who is responsible for a specific thing, not anyone else. I don’t want to bother others when I can

A Day of Opportunities

1712) I started writing these “minute” devotions in 2018 and as my readers have grown in numbers, I will hear about once-a-week from one of you, telling me how a particular minute blessed them. It’s an encouragement to me for many reasons. One of them is, while working full time in the classroom, keeping up

Rest is Not an Option

1709) I am fortunate that while I was growing up, I had instilled in me the need to work hard and be dependable. I know what most of my responsibilities are and I take them seriously. There is one area, however, where I had not considered being within this realm of responsibilities, and that is

Clickbait

1708) Most of you know what the term clickbait means. In case you don’t, it’s the attention-grabbing headline seen on the internet which compels many to click on it to read about it. The headlines on tabloids in the grocery stores are the predecessors to clickbait. Thinking of this, when I read Revelation 1:7 I

God’s Home

1707) Where does God live? Many small children have asked this sincere question at one point or another, but what I wonder is, do you know the answer? In Bible times, we find God lived in the Tabernacle and later the Temple, but because of Jesus’ sacrificial death, he can now live within those of
