The God Who Sees

1540) I think it’s interesting I often have no problem accepting the “great” things concerning God. I accept he is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere) and omniscient (all-knowing). I have faith he created the world and the miracles in the Bible. But when it comes to accepting the “small” things concerning God, I struggle. One such

The Vine Feels Pain

1539) I remember the time when the shortest verse of the English Bible, John 11:35 – Jesus wept, hit me like a ton of bricks. Gaining the insight that Jesus cares so much about the pain of his people, even when he knows the miracles he will perform, was life-changing. I even wrote and traditionally

Who He Is and Who He’s Not

1538) I have discovered in my classroom that my students often learn more successfully if I show them what is not the way to write and then, couple it with what is. Seeing an example of not using correct punctuation such as: Let’s eat grandma versus Let’s eat, Grandma can be enlightening. I think sometimes

Don’t You Want Me?

1537) Feeling unwanted is the terrible result of rejection and this feeling seeps deep into the gut. If you feel unwanted, there is a loneliness that tarries that’s different from if you were simply alone. As a writer, I get rejections regularly. No from this magazine. No from this agent. No from this writing competition.

It’s Confusing Sometimes

1536) I need to confess that sometimes I read a passage in the Bible, I get really confused. I know! That’s coming from someone who majored in Bible, taught it for almost two decades and writes professionally about many parts of Scripture. I found one such confusing place in Matthew 12:1-8    The Pharisees, the

Don’t Miss the Whisper

1535) It’s funny how I often yearn for peace and quiet, but when it’s actually quiet, I feel little peace. When it’s quiet, the voices within my head will often start shouting. I read somewhere that we can speak around 200 words a minute, but we can think 1500 words within that same amount of

A Grief Misunderstood

1534) In this life, we have enemies. These people may not be on the other side of a rifle, but their ammo can be just as deadly. Sometimes these people may be family members or fellow Christians. When our enemies fit into these groups, the pain can be even greater. I think the writer of

Get Off Your Back

1533) In the time I was raised, the church seemed to adopt the notion that if you were a committed Christian; you needed to be responsible. Sounds good, doesn’t it? After all, you need to keep watching your boundaries, choices and attitudes because you want to be faithful to God. I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Is God Good?

1532) I have a confession to make. When I read the Bible, sometimes I shake my head. For example, Psalm 34. In this Psalm, David tells us to praise God all the time (vs. 1). God is great (vs. 3). He delivers us from all our fears (vs. 4). God delivers him from all his

Watch for It

1531) Someone recently showed me a video where a bunch of people are passing basketballs around. Half of them wore black shirts and the other half wore white one. The video instructs you to count how many times the people wearing white pass the ball. If you do it successfully, you’ll count 15 passes BUT,
