A Piece of Himself

2310) It is in adulthood when most of us learn that things gotten easily are not valued as much as things we have to work harder for. As I think about this, I wonder if the main reason is that we had to put more of ourselves into it; we had to work harder for

Winning Against Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s

Test Everything

2308) I would be surprised if any of you have not heard of AI and know about at least some of its capabilities. It is both useful and disturbing. It’s helpful because I can use it, for example, to do author research for good copy I post with my books. It can show me what

Many

2307) I am fortunate because my parents taught me to work hard and finish what I started. As an adult, I still function under this discipline, and yet, there are times and situations when carrying out these things to the extreme doesn’t work well at all. Yes, I need to be responsible and do my

1 + 1 = 1

2306) Many of my young scholars complain regularly about their math class. It’s not really about who is teaching what; it’s that many of them don’t understand the concepts. When they complain, I tell them I would much rather do math because it’s precise. Your work is either right or wrong. This isn’t true in

No Better

2305) There are bad and even evil people in this world. They are thieves, deceivers, and mass murderers, to name a few. There are places in this world where your life will be in danger just for being there. What’s interesting (and disturbing) to me is God tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 that these

The Second Time

2304) When Jesus became a human and lived on this earth, he was born for one purpose: to die and atone for each of us because we are sinful and separated from God. The sacrifice Jesus made for us cost him more than just his life. But the second time Jesus comes, Hebrews 9:28 tells

Escape

2303) When I was young, I can remember watching the movie, The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen. I thought, Wow! Look at what all these men did just to escape a German camp during WWII. When I read 1 Corinthians 10:13 this morning, this movie came to mind. It’s a verse about temptation, and the

No Favorites

2302) Those of us who have siblings may sometimes wonder if our parents have a favorite kid. I’m sure this exists, and if true, it can raise so many powerful and hurtful problems. Sometimes we can also mistakenly think God has favorites. Such as, God favors those who are trying to do the right thing

Winners and Losers

2301) Every once-in-a-while, I’ll have some sort of review game with my young scholars. I am amazed from class to class at the amount of competition I see. There are some classes, the competition is so high; it takes the fun out of the game and I’ve closed the game down. Why? Because when there
