Eye Witness

1476) “I’m going to keep my eye on you.” This is a statement I heard a lot when I was growing up. I believe they used it exclusively to mean, “I’m watching to see if you’re up to something.” When we read in Psalm 11:4 that God watches everyone closely, it’s easy to conclude he’s

An Open Door

1475) As a writer, clichés can make me cringe. Not that I have anything against them, it’s just that people use them so much, their meaning or point is of lesser power in their familiarity. Once such cliché for me is When God closes one door, another will open. Do I believe this? Of course,

The Problem of Grace

1474) There are times when I really enjoy reading something that truly stretches my mind and urges me to contemplate something I haven’t really thought about. Much of C.S. Lewis’ and Viktor Frankl’s works are gold mines of consideration. Their words have also encouraged and challenged me to write several “scholarly essays” and I have

Listening is Hard Work

1484) School has just started for me and one thing that wears me out is the demand for my attention. I have wondered how many times my name has been called out during a single day. Would it be upward to 100? It seems like it. When all the children in a classroom call on

Want Peace?

1473) I am a worrier; always have been. If there’s something that is difficult, stressful or unknown, I worry. Because of this, I sometimes cringe when someone reminds me (and not always lovingly) that Christians should not worry. I’ve given this some thought and here are some of my ideas. First, I think I need

The Domino Effect

1472) It amazes me when I see a video of someone who has set up hundreds of dominos, so with one gentle push, the whole “chain” of the tiles will fall over, one after another. There’s a lot we can learn from watching this chain reaction and one lesson reminds me of Jonah, chapter 1.

No More Shame

1471) Sometimes I have felt ashamed of something I said or did. Who hasn’t? But have you considered that shame and remorse are two different things? Shame is something negative you feel about yourself where remorse is when you have done something wrong and you’re sorry about it. Shame is a lethal weapon Satan uses

Feeling Outnumbered?

1470) I usually have recess duty during the school year and I rarely mind. I watch the kids as they interact and there is something I see regularly, under the basketball hoop. I often see teams being formed that are very uneven. The “better” players always want to team up and they soften this out-of-balance

Understood

1469) There is a need buried deep inside each of us; it is the need to be understood. We turn all different ways to find somewhere we can know someone understands us. When we say things poorly. When we don’t use enough words. When we use too many words. When we coat these words with

A Good Example

1468) I have a small sewing business on the side along with my writing and teaching and whenever I have to order a specific fabric, I often run into problems. What is it? Well…my Post Office box address is in one small town and my physical address is in another. (I know, it’s complicated.) When
