Priceless Gifts

1384) In my writing class, I give my students daily journal prompts. They can be things like, you find an unexpected shoebox in your closet, what does it contain? To something as simple as, if you had any three gifts, what would they be? The students’ responses to these vary a lot and it’s fun

Saturated

1383) I have read several accounts of people who claim to have died and gone to heaven and then, for one reason or another, have come back to earth on the other end of a near-death experience. When I have read these stories, I try to leave my judgment aside and “listen” to what the

Controlled

1382) One thing I really don’t like is when I sense someone is trying to control me. Through conversation, manipulation or attitude, when I feel someone is trying to force me into thinking, feeling or moving in a particular way, I dig my heals in. I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this

Beyond Description

1381) If you were asked to describe God, what words would you use? I would come up with things like, God is honest, he is just, he is righteous and other such things. These are true, but David seems to have a deeper understanding of God than I do. His words are more pointed and

The Value of Honesty

1380) I am amazed as I read through Scripture how many times I see people hiding from God. Adam and Eve and Jonah are perfect examples. My thinking is, Why do you think hiding from an omniscient God will work? After all, David himself said in Psalm 139:7-10 there is nowhere you can go from

I Am with You – Part 4

1379) As a writer, it can be very easy to get discouraged. Before I signed with a publisher for my first novel, The Bottle House, I had no fewer than 40 “no’s” before I got one “yes.” If I had given into discouragement, this novel would never have been published; I wouldn’t have even completed

I Am with You – Part 3

1378) I have mentioned before I am terribly afraid when visiting the dentist. I literally will shake in the chair, and honestly, it’s embarrassing. I do not think the dentist is going to kill me, but what scares me is the unknown, especially if it includes pain. This unknown pain can happen at any moment

I Am with You – Part 2

1377) We have a new little dog in our family. A lovable little puffball of fur, Cayce (pronounced K-C). I’ve never seen a dog with the energy he has, but I have also noticed Cayce is afraid of a lot of things. I’m not sure why; he has had nothing traumatic happen to him, but

I Am with You – Part 1

1376) Our human senses serve us well in this life–until age or disease deteriorates them. I have pondered before what my life would be like if one or more of these senses did not function. I am grateful this is not the case. In considering the gift of our senses, I also understand they are

The Value of Trust

1375) Today’s minute focuses on trust. What is trust? This word is complicated, but because I prefer to be as simple as possible, I would define trust as reliability. If you are reliable, you will do what you say. You are someone others can depend upon. You are someone with integrity, both publicly and privately.
