Brotherly Love

1420) Take a moment and think of the people you enjoy being around. Now, think about why you enjoy them. Is it because they constantly talk about only themselves? Is it because they frequently belittle you? Is it because you enjoy being around people with whom you have nothing in common? Of course, the answer

In the Beginning, there was Love

1419) The gospel of John tells us from the start, In the beginning was the Word.. and the Word was God. And, who is God? 1 John 4:16 tells us, God is love. So, putting the two together, we see that in the beginning, there was love. Where is love in the beginning? Look through

The Taste Test

1418) It’s amazing to me that something that tastes so good to me does not even appeal to my husband. Boiled peanuts, for example; he hates them and I love them. Something else that’s interesting is that God did not have to create us with the ability to taste anything. He could have just bypassed

Love Me, Love My God

1417) Having spent most of my life working with children, I have seen that kids usually treat each other in the manner they feel the other person has treated them. I don’t think that kids are the only ones who do this. Don’t we often find we are responding to others in ways we feel

I Forgot

1416) I’m in my late 50s and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Though I usually have no trouble pulling out information from my brain, it’s now a slower process. It’s frustrating when you can’t put together your thoughts like you could years before. Now, saying “I forgot” can often be the case.

Cause and Effect

1415) As someone who yearns for predictability, the laws of life are comforting. Knowing every cause always produces an effect is one such example. Though predictable, it’s easy to forget that actions always bring consequences and, yes, consequences include positive ones. Proverbs 21:21tells us that pursuing righteousness (or rightness) and love will always result in

Support Groups

1414) I’ve never been a member of an official support group but have belonged to groups of people who support each other. The reason support groups are so valuable is because this life is hard and, it can be cruel. When these things come your way (and if they haven’t yet, just wait), standing alone

Free isn’t Free

1413) When there are sales at local businesses, I’ll sometimes see, buy one, get one free and variations of this. It’s smart to feature these sort of sales because people find a good deal hard to pass up. If you take a moment, however, to think about these deals, they often are not really free

Public Speaking

1412) Speaking in front of a group of people used to horrify me. I remember in the eighth grade; I had to do a science report in front of my class and I was so scared, my face broke out in hives. Now, it doesn’t rattle me at all. Why? Because I’ve had to do

Follow the Leader

1411) There are times at school when I take my kids outside and we play some games like I did when I was their age. We’ll play Duck, Duck, Goose or Tag and sometimes Jump the Creek. It is interesting to me how much fun the kids have just playing these simple games. There is
