First Watch

1510) I love to read and when I get a chance, I dig right in. I enjoy many books in both the fiction and non-fiction genre. There are times too, when I go back and read a book I read years ago because, as Robertson Davies said, “Nobody ever reads the same book twice.” The

A Promise Worth Noting

1509) When I was a child, we had a code most of us lived by. If we said something of importance, another child would say, “Cross your heart?” and we’d do this with our fingers, promising we would follow through and do whatever we were referring to. Promises don’t seem to mean the same today

That’s Good!

1508) It’s interesting when I read about carnival foods that are available. Though some seem intriguing, there are some I just cringe at the thought of all that sugar. Does this mean that too much of a good thing can be bad? Usually, but there’s at least one exception and it’s found in Psalm 16:2.

You’re Thinking of Me?

1507) When I was in college, there was a professor, Dr. Johnny Miller, who later became President for several years. Students at the college sought him out for his wisdom and knowledge of the scriptures. Because I worked at the college most summers during this time, I got to know him and his wife and

Sometimes It’s Just the Way it Is

1506) It’s interesting to teach the “tween” kids. These kids aren’t really teenagers yet, but their bodies and minds are in a state of rapid change. Because of this, it’s not unusual to have a student who is upset or even just sad and not really know why they are. If we’re honest, tweens aren’t

Accepting not Endorsing

1505) I live in a beautiful place on the coast of Maine. Any day I can go outside and see something that lifts my spirits, but there is also a part of where I live and probably where you do, too, that isn’t beautiful and that is to see a huge amount of drug abuse.

Divine Gifts

1504) I have a friend who is a gifted pianist. He has played around the world and many have heard and appreciated his gift. The amazing thing about this friend is he has hand tremors; sometimes so bad he struggles to play the notes in his music. It is amazing to me to see his

Support

1503) I love doing projects with my students because I see their love for reading, writing and just plain creating shine in their eyes. One such project are the puppet productions we have done. We write the script, make the puppets and scenery, record the dialogue, add sound effects and more. To pull off a

Not Guilt! Sort Of

1502) My parents raised me in a Christian home and took me to church regularly, which was fortunate for me. I loved the Bible stories and would give them great thought after I got home from church each week. One story I thought about is the trial of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. I

I Will Be Like God

1501) Do you ever wish to be in charge of your life? Well, we are, to a certain extent, but what I’m asking is, have you ever wanted to call all the shots in your life? If we’re honest, all of us would say yes. This is the motivation behind a woman’s request of Jesus
