Talk is Cheap

1394) It’s hard to take someone’s word for things these days and it’s perhaps not prudent to do so. With my students, I explain to them that a person can say they will do many things, but the way to truly know if they keep their word is to watch their actions. Are they doing

Death and Life Examined

1393) Some say the greatest mystery in this life is death. Their reasoning is most likely because this is something you cannot experience but once and the majority of people cannot tell us of their experience. I have to disagree with them. Yes, semantics are in play here. I believe we all experience death while

Unforgettable

1392) One of my all-time favorite singers is Michael Bublé. My voice teacher would refer to him as a word sculptor. His voice is velvet, and his diction, flawless. If you have an over-whelming day, put on his music and it will soften your spirit.  One cover Bublé sings is Nat King Cole’s song, Unforgettable,

The Pain of Waiting

1391) Recently I had to visit the dentist again to finish up work on a tooth because the infection in my mouth had to be cleared up first. The brave D.D.S. (and I use brave because he had to work on me) asked me on a scale of 1-10, where would I put my pain

Solid Protection

1390) When I was young, my brothers and neighborhood kids used to make forts. Depending on what materials were available, some forts were stronger than others. Sometimes we made these forts out of blankets, draped over living room furniture. Sometimes we made these them from tree branches and scrap construction materials. As you can tell,

Relief!

1389) I’m not sure if it’s because of my age or my health, but it seems it’s awful easy to tear up these days. It’s as if a wave of emotion sweeps over me and I react. Honestly, I find it embarrassing because of the reactions of those I’m around. It isn’t that they make

Enough is Enough

1388) A term that has been thrown around in the last few years is “retail therapy.” It aptly describes the fact that many feel better simply in buying things. I must admit, it’s nice to shop once-in-a-while and, yes, it perks me up. This therapy becomes a problem when someone mistakes a temporary rush of

Accompanied

1387) One of the most valuable gifts you can give someone is the gift of being with them in their time of sorrow. When someone is suffering, you cannot stop it, you cannot change it, but you can be there for someone, literally. Sitting with someone in their pain, saying nothing, is a tremendous gift

Reservations Needed

1386) I think it’s interesting that when a wide majority of people find themselves in horrible situations, they cry out to God a one-word prayer: “Why?” Some of these people may have never spoken to God before, or some may even have claimed to reject God. There’s just something God has put within us; a

Glory Days

1385) What things motivate you? If someone were to ask me this, I’d have to ask them in what area of life are you referring to? What motivates me in my writing is the joy and awe that stirs within when God guides my fingers on my keyboard and then I see what God has
