What Does Light Produce? Goodness.

1082) Are people naturally good? We hear and see many amazing things people do or have done for others; especially for strangers and I think this is important to note them. However, the Biblical answer to this question is, no, people are not naturally good but can do good things. Saying people are not basically

Afraid of the Dark?

1081) Darkness, on many levels, is a scary place to be. Sometimes it’s somewhere in the absence of light; you can “see” things that are not necessarily there.

Who’s Your Partner? Thanksgiving?

1080) Some years, in my language arts classroom, I assign a poetry anthology. At first, the kids scoff at the idea, but when they see different ways to express their thoughts, they usually pick up the ball and start rolling. One poem I assign is called a circle poem. They start with one word, then

Who’s Your Partner? Coarseness

1079) My students just amaze me in so many ways. The things they’ll say, write, or do, good and bad, will often blow my mind. Sometimes they are a harsh reminder that I am no longer young! Sigh. A good example of this is when we occasionally play limbo. When I watch kids literally look

Who’s Your Parner? Sexual Immorality?

1074) I have been rereading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis this summer. Among many other thought-provoking issues, Lewis discusses sexual immorality and states that it is an obsession and fascination that is out of balance. Think about how much sex is used to sell things; it has marketing power that many have tapped in to.
