The Definition of Resentment

Pages 224-225 – The Bottle House “When you harbor resentment, it’s a dead end— emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The word resent originally meant ‘to feel again,’ almost as if you are saying to yourself whatever you resent over, and over, and over. This is bad because these feelings often lead you on a downward spiral

The Dignity of Choice

899) Imagine that you have just moved to a new state. You decide to take the bull by its horns and you barge in everywhere, telling people who you are, what you can do and why you’re someone they should respect. How would this go over? Not too good, huh? What if God barged into

A Level Playing Field

898) Living in the 21st Century, those of us in the U.S.A. are not as used to “classes” of people. We may be acquainted with these from viewing TV shows set in periods of time where this was more typical, but we sometimes think this “unlevel” playing field doesn’t exist in our country. Not so.

The Trouble with Mary

897) Human beings are truly one of God’s most amazing creations. If you studied our brains alone, there would be no doubt that the mark of our Creator is there. The things our brains do are marvelous. I only wish I understood this organ better. One such amazing person is the Virgin Mary. Here was

Who Is In Control?

Page 221 – The Bottle House Chaplain Miller stood while picking up the sky-blue bottle with Stefan’s name on it. “It’s clear that you hurt tremendously for your wife and your clients. God sees your pain, Stefan.” After a brief pause, he said, “There is something I want you to think about. Sometimes we give

Are We Truly That Powerful?

896) It is a human characteristic to think that when something goes wrong, it was because of something we did or didn’t do. That may be true occasionally, but if we follow this notion further, what we are alluding to is that we have more power and influence than we really do. For example, I

The Worst in Us

895) One thing I love about my job as a language arts teacher is for some grades, I can choose books for my classes to read and dissect. One such book, that I highly recommend (and, yes, many middle grade books are worth reading) is, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. There is so much

Swords and Clubs

894) One year, one of my young students interrupted my grammar lesson, saying in his still-little-boy voice, ”Mrs. Grant. I have an ant farm.” I remember stopping in mid-sentence and looking at his sweet face and I blinked twice, surprised at this random remark. His face was so animated that I encouraged him to tell

God Cares About You

Page 200 – The Bottle House Chaplain Miller smiled. He glanced at the (red) bottle, then held her gaze. “Sometimes it’s hard to have faith that the God of all the universe would care about the lives of his children. When I have paused to consider this, it is an amazing thing that I, one

I know How You Feel

890) Sometimes, perhaps without realizing it, we insult others in their sorrows and grief. We may say to them, with all good intentions,” I know how you feel.” Maybe you have also dealt with cancer. Maybe you have also lost a job or your dignity. Maybe you have suffered from poor choices but it is
