I Can’t Imagine

1560)  MercyMe sings a song, I Can Only Imagine, which I’m sure many of you have heard. In the song, the singer wonders what it will be like to be with Jesus in heaven forever. He ponders what his reaction will be when he arrives and what he’ll do. It’s a beautiful song. When I

Watch What You Cannot See

1559) Going to the eye doctor is a little frustrating. If you need to have your glasses prescription adjusted, you usually go through visual calisthenics when the doctor says, “Is this one better or is this one?” I cannot answer most of these comparison questions. They often look the same to me. Another frustrating admonition

More Work?

1558) When I was in high school, I worked at a Hallmark store, back when physical cards and such were much desired. I enjoyed working there and I remember the closer the Christmas season came, the busier our store would get. I enjoyed the busyness. It kept me on my feet, making the hours I

Gifts Wrapped in Ugly Paper

1557) I’m not sure who came up with the ugly sweater thing several years ago, but I find it interesting what one person considers ugly isn’t necessarily ugly to me and vice versa. We can view gift wrap similarly. Some wrap is beautiful and others can be overwhelmingly “busy” in its design and unpleasing to

I Am Here

1556) Just about every adult knows that when a child tells you they can’t find something, it’s probably there in plain view. I see this a lot in the classroom. I’ll ask the kids to get out something and there will be at least one in every class who will say, “I can’t find it.”

Special Among Specials

1555) I used to think something can only be special if nothing else around it was. After all, the essence of the word special means better or greater, so my thinking that nothing is special if everything is special makes sense. Matthew 18:12-14 helps shed some light on my struggle. Here, Jesus tells his disciples

I’ve Been Laid Off

1554) There was a time in my teaching district when they were going to close two schools to save money and resources. Because I had only been teaching in this district for a few years, I knew the administration would likely lay me off. Fortunately, I wasn’t but others were. It’s a scary thing to

War Council

1553) Sometimes in life I find myself being sucked into a vortex of emotion. I have lived inside my skin long enough to know that during this swirling, making important decisions isn’t prudent. For example, when someone does or says something to me and I experience a surge of emotion, it’s probably good to let

Graciousness

1552) My husband bravely watches the news every evening, and I say bravely because there is so much angst among many and to me it gets tiring. One of the news shows my husband watches is The Five on Fox News. I’m usually doing other things while it’s on, but I’m aware of its basic

Recipe for Happiness

1551) I have a confession to make, though I’m a pretty good cook (at least my husband says so), I cannot make brownies. I know, right? Even the simplest recipe and directions I find on the box of a mix doesn’t really help. Why? I don’t have a clue, but my husband and I laugh about
