It’s the Action

2451) How many of us remember the jeer we heard as a child, finders keepers; losers weepers? It seemed to put an emphasis on finding rather than losing. It’s an interesting point of view, especially when I read Proverbs 3:13. It reads, blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding.

A Verse of Tension

2450) Because I was raised in a home where I was exposed to the Bible all of my life, I found that I did not question “difficult” verses; I had the faith of a child. As I grew older, I would notice verses such as Psalm 37:4, Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will

Engraving and Walls

2449) Life is often a roller-coaster. We are propelled forward and upward into an exciting and joyful time, and then, like roaring down a hill, we land in difficulties and even despair. As much as we’d like to manipulate things, both are facts of this life. Because of this, these can lead us to question

Looking for Evidence

2448) It’s funny that if we take the time to honestly look at one event in our lives, we can often see multiple things. For example, if I consider my first year of teaching, looking at the evidence, I see a young woman who often made mistakes. I see someone who had grandiose ideas which

Bless You

2447) I can remember reading verses as a child such as Psalm 134:2, which reads, lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord. (ESV) The term bless the Lord was just something I read without giving it much thought because I didn’t understand it. I know what it means when someone

Responsible Finances

2446) I read a statement once, and it has stayed in my mind. You can’t solve money problems with money. It caught my ear because it’s easy to think, if I could just get this paid off ormy life would be so much better if I had the money to do that. In Luke 14:28,

Pick it Up

2445) When it comes to grocery shopping, there is one store I hate (and yes, that’s the word) to go. I find myself going there every once-in-a-while because it has the best prices on certain items. One of the reasons I hate going there is because of the crowds. Navigating the aisles is difficult, and

Liar

2444) We live in a world that’s full of lies. Statements of untruth; lies of omission; lies disguised as truth. Because we are exposed to untruths so often, it may be natural to carry this exposure and paint the things God says with the same bucket of lies painted with a brush that enhances the

Names

2443) Kids will be kids. That’s what I say to myself often during a school week. There is always a push and shove when you ask a group to line up. The boys (and often girls) have to hit the top of the doorframe as they enter or exit a room. It is also predictable

Molded

2442) I don’t know when Play-Doh came into being, but I remember I had a few small cans of the stuff and I had a lot of fun creating snakes, pancakes, round balls of various sizes, etc. Another thing I did was roll the dough flat and take the lid off the can and push
