Here’s To the Underdog

1608) I’ve always had a heart for the underdog. In my teaching career spanning 38 years (so far), the kids who are the underdogs pull at my heart. I’m sure there are many reasons for this, but I guess it mostly comes down to the fact that I know what this feels like. Underdogs often

Faith Does Not Depend on Feelings

1607) I have mentioned before in my “minute” devotions that I have a deep-down need to feel safe. Depending on what’s going on in my life determines how great the need is. If you understand these two sentences, then you know this isn’t a very fun way to live. I cry out to God about

A Costly Gift

1606) When someone you know and love is going through something very painful, it’s hard to know what to do, but it’s an opportunity to give someone a gift that is greater and more powerful at a time like this. I have experienced it twice. When I have been at the edge of despair, two

At Least As Good

1605) I’m going to be brave and confess something some of you will understand, others, maybe not. I am scared of the next life. No, I do not doubt there is a heaven, and that Jesus paid the price for me to enter and I will be there, but there are so many unknowns that

Truth Can Be Scary

1604) I’m afraid of so many things but what’s odd is, I’m not afraid of things many others are. For example, I’m not afraid of mice, spiders and snakes (and I’m from the South, where there are many poisonous versions of the latter two). Some things I am afraid of include confrontation, unpredictable things (which

Stunned by Beauty

1603) I have been stunned by beauty a few times in my life. One was when I watched the movie Schindler’s List, directed and produced by Steven Spielberg. (Be aware, the movie earned its R rating.) In this movie, based upon a real man, Oscar Schindler hires Jews during WWII to earn money for him

It Takes Courage to Wait

1602) I think one of the most difficult challenges to our faith is having to wait. We wait for medical information. We patiently await the Lord’s answer to our prayers. We are waiting for guidance that seems to be taking its time. We wait for God’s provision, which can come in unexpected forms. We wait

You Can Be Faithful and Still Be Confused

1601) The end of the year 2023 has been difficult in my home. We’ve had the death of my father, utility poles broken (the power lines damaged twice), a generator die, three teeth needing crowns, Covid for the second time, serious health issues, cars breaking down and more. My husband and I have sat together

If It’s Easy, It Won’t Last

1600) As I read Proverbs 20:6, two men come to mind. Let’s look at the verse first. It says (ESV) Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find? The first man who comes to mind is marketing specialist, Seth Godin. The circle of my writing career overlaps Seth’s.

A Valuable Skill

1599) We are living in times when you really don’t need to know how to do many things. Often, skilled laborers are only knowledgeable about doing one specific thing. The renaissance man (or woman), the ones who know how to do many things, are dying off. I’ve also wondered if this lack of abilities in
