Well Done

2329) The words we speak will often be taken seriously depending on the integrity you may or may not hold. For example, hearing “well done” from someone who is addicted to drugs will have a different impact than hearing it from someone who has earned your respect. If you take this thinking further, it’s possible

Pushed

2328) My young scholars love to play tag during recess and as a teacher on duty, I have to watch over them continually because many of them, in their eagerness to win, will push other kids right over instead of the gentle, tag–you’re it. Kids aren’t the only ones who push or get pushed. Psalm

A Type of Fishing

2327) My experience with fishing isn’t much. I did some in my childhood and then some since we moved to Maine. I do enjoy it, but it reminds me of an evening, perhaps 20 years ago, when my husband and I drifted in a boat on Grand Lake Stream. That evening, the conditions for fishing

Strength, Help, Support

2325) When I was a child, I struggled to understand what faith is. After all, it’s not something “concrete” or anything I can see and hold. As an adult, I understand better that just because I don’t see something with my eyes, doesn’t mean it isn’t there or happening. For example, Isaiah 41:10 tells me

Heavy Burdens

2324) I knew someone once who was wronged by another. All of us in this person’s world knew about it and were sympathetic toward them. As the days and months passed, this person could not let this wrong go. They became consumed with it. It made me wonder if this person had any clue about

A Holy Strength

2323) When illness, injuries and age descend on our bodies, we can ache in multiple ways. It’s funny how you may not even know to rejoice when your body is working properly, but when it’s not….. Asaph, David’s chief musician, wrote in Psalm 73:26 that our flesh and hearts may (and will) fail, but God

The In

2322) Teaching grammar to young scholars isn’t easy because the English language is confusing and often refuses to follow rules and patterns. Though this may be true, understanding basic grammar is important for communication. Noticing each word can be helpful, too. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the

Hearing and Seeing

2321) As I age, I can tell both my hearing and seeing are losing their sharpness. It’s especially difficult for me to hear a male voice when the engine of a car or pellet stove is running. Though these things are part of life, Proverbs 20:12 tells us of a different hearing and seeing. The

Truth

2320) As a person who has always been sensitive to words I notice, “truth” has taken on many meanings. It used to be defined as the facts or reality about something, but now it’s often defined as the facts you think about something. Why is the definition of “truth” important? For one, two contradictory ideas
