Bodyguard

2367) Many years ago, I had a new student enter my high school class. He sat down, and then I asked him to do something, and he flipped out. He jumped out of his seat and came after me. At the same time, I saw another one of my students jump from his seat and

Trouble

2366) There have been times in my 40 years of teaching when I have accompanied a student to the principal’s office just as a support. The student may have been caught red-handed, but they are so overwhelmed by the incident, they just need to feel me close by. Zephaniah 3:17 tells us God does the

Who He Is (and Who He’s Not)

2365) If you ask a small child what God is like, they often describe someone like Santa. He is big with a beard. He gives you what you want. He knows when you’ve been good and bad. Of course, as adults, we know better, but do we? Do we not sometimes think of God like

Chasing

2364) The dog I had several years ago was a hunter. You could see his little dachshund tail whipping back and forth in the tall grass, hunting a mouse. Once, he saw one in a camp where we were staying. He sat facing the stove, where the mouse retreated, for two hours, finally catching it.

Worship Includes

2363) Did you know you could be worshipping God without even realizing it? Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:31 that every decision we make to do the right thing. Every thought we focus on building others up. Every time we are kind and respectful to strangers. All of these are forms of worship. Why?

Reframing

2362) Growing up in the South, I learned that some people there believed one race was superior to others. Reflecting on this, I realize this way of thinking isn’t confined to any one place. When I hear a racist joke, I lose respect for the speaker. I redirect their passive aggression by turning the belittling

Test Me

2361) As a thinking teenager immersed in the church, there were many times I would challenge the teaching I received there or youth group. I’d listen and then think about the words in the hours afterward. I didn’t realize then that I was doing just what Jesus stated in John 7:17. Here, Jesus says, anyone

Obligation vs. Gratitude

2360) I have met people who do many things under obligation. I know I’ve done this too from time to time. If I do something out of obligation and the recipient discovers that, it takes the value of receiving away. It also takes away the blessing God has for us when we give. 2 Corinthians

Enjoyment

2359) I was thinking about the animal kingdom the other day, and it amazed me that God made all sorts of animals. What creativity. What a variety. Did God have to do this? Of course not, but he did, and the animal kingdom is a gift to the human race. In this life, God has

Not By Accident

2384) In the last couple of years, I have taken up watercolor painting. I’m not very good at it, but the exhilaration of creating something with paint is enough to keep going. Each little painting I have kept until the stack was taking up too much room. I knew it was time to purge. I
