Rest Up!

1134) I can tell each day I’m nearing the end of my teaching career. As I work with kids throughout the day, the noise gets louder; the needs get harder to meet and my body gets tired a lot quicker. These things are all part of the normal aging process, but when I come home

Your Cries are Heard

1133) Crying is a natural coping mechanism that helps the body release powerful emotions, good and bad. Some people are ashamed of their tears, probably because tears are an outward sign of what some may call a weakness. But, crying isn’t a weakness, rather just an effect of what is churning within ourselves. When your

The Value of Silence

1132) The library has always been a magical place for me. I think this is because when I was growing up, my mother took us there every week during the summer and we got to check out books. I loved seeing shelf after shelf of books; pulling beautiful ones out and looking at them. The

Life can be Like a Trash Compactor

1131) When I was a kid, we had a trash compactor. This is a fascinating invention for 10- and 11-year-olds. You put the trash in it, close the drawer and push the button. Before you know it, the crushing mechanism put incredible pressure on the drawer’s contents and forces them into a compact mass. This

Anguish

1130) Anguish is something that will present itself a few times in life. It really doesn’t matter what has caused it, it brings a heavy storm that causes some people to drown. In consideration of this difficult thing, questions might follow. Can I help myself or another person amid such turbulent waters? I think the

Talk, Talk, Talk

There are some people out there who can talk and talk and talk and yet, not say a thing. I know you know what I mean. Sometimes I avoid these people because I don’t have time (or want to take the time) to get trapped into having to listen without the opportunity to inject that

How Does God Feel About Me?

1128) I was watching a Tedx Talk the other day about how our brains handle suffering presented by Dr. Amit Sood from the Mayo Clinic. Among other things that were fascinating, he spoke about, “hedonic adaptation” which means that after positive or negative events, we react to them but then return to more stable emotions.

Is God Good?

1127) Trying to understand the essence of God is impossible. Think about this. God says he is all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere at once, and has always existed. These things are just a tiny aspect of who God is. No wonder we humans have a hard time comprehending him. There are some things we can understand about

Sunsets are Beautiful

1126) Sunsets are one of my favorite things to see. Because our upstairs bedroom faces west and has two huge windows, summers in Maine, which has a late sunset, allow me to view this spectacular scene in bed. There have been times as I lie there when I picture Jesus appearing within it all. What

The Miracle of Bad

1125) I am a thinker; in fact, I overthink way too much. Thinking through things, however, has benefited me. One thing I have pondered quite a bit is the fact that good things can come from bad; even the really bad. This, to me, is a type of miracle because Satan is great at encouraging
