Balance is Good

946) When I hear figures of speech or quotes, I often wonder where it originated. One example I heard here in Downeast Maine is, she’s tougher than a boiled owl. I immediately knew what the speaker was communicating, but I wondered about its origin. One source said that it comes from a book in 1857

What About Him?

945) As someone who has spent the last 36 years with kids, I know them fairly well. For example, my students, even when I taught high school, will often believe anything I tell them. Because of this, it’s fun to yank their chains every once-in-a-while. If I am absent one day, when I return the

The Ridiculous

944) I enjoy going fishing. I must admit it’s been a few years since I have been, but I enjoy it. One of my fondest memories as a child was when my grandfather took me fishing for the first time. He took a long stick, added a fishing line, bobber and hook and baited the

Evidence within an Empty Tomb

943) What is truth? The word truth is from the middle English word treuthe which means to see true. If you look up the word on dictionary.com, you find among its definition, “The true or actual state of a matter. A verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle or the like.” These definitions seem to be

You are Not Alone

942) One of the most difficult times a person can have is when they feel all alone. That’s why in my novel, The Bottle House, I have Chaplain Miller spend so much time on the subject. He tells the group gathered that, “When a person has been badly hurt, one of the scariest things of

Remain in My Love

941) For people of several generations, the church and Christian parents drilled into them that: 1. There are rules. 2. They are to be kept. Certainly not a bad way to live; it would help many avoid trouble in multiple ways. There is one weakness I see in this life-strategy, though. There is little room

Motivated by Love or Fear

940) Relationships are often tricky and if we draw a line connecting any person to anyone they have a relationship with, the lines would often look like a spider’s web. We have a relationship with our spouse, our family, our friends, our bosses, our coworkers, our acquaintances with those through business contacts, with people on

Distractions

923) My middle school classroom is at the back of our school. Looking out of my room’s window, you can see the playground and, depending on what time of day it is, you can watch and hear other classes of kids running around and shouting with joy. My students have a difficult time paying attention

“The” Versus “A”

939) If you ask for directions somewhere, my husband will give one set, and I will give another. Are one of these better than the other? Well, it depends on the person receiving the directions. In my husband’s mind, you travel north down so-and-so road 3 miles and then take a left, going west on

Love is a Verb

938) It’s interesting to teach kids who are in their early teens. The love bug comes into my classroom and I see the kids act in ways that are amusing. I’ll see looks exchanged across the room. I’ll see terrible attempts to pass notes, which, to their horror, I often intercept. I sense a giddiness
