Alone

Page 195 – The Bottle House “When a person has been badly hurt, one of the scariest things of all can happen, and that is feeling all alone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve caused the pain or if someone else has, feeling isolated is terrible.” Stefan’s throat tightened. He pictured the evenings he and his

Prayer Considered

884) I must confess that I have hesitated in writing about the topic of praying for specific things. I think it’s because sometimes I ask God for something and He grants it and there are other times (and it seems like many to me) when I ask God, and He answers no or, “worse yet,”

The Gift of Love

883) As a teacher of many years, it’s hard to hold back my reaction to some of my students’ boastful statements. I know they’re young so I expect this but I have found I’ve needed to be careful in my reaction to them. In Mark 10:17-31, an “educated” man, who was very wealthy, came to

Salt or Vinegar

882) There is a trend of selling snacks with limited salt. This is because we know that too much of it is not good for your body. Thinking about this, I started “tasting” in my mind my favorite snack, popcorn, without salt. Yuck! To think of eating popcorn without it takes away most of the

Is God Good?

Page 187 – The Bottle House Stefan cleared his throat which was tightening from the tension and anger building in his body. “I knew he could have healed my Sophie, but he didn’t.” The severity of the accusation surprised Stefan, yet Chaplain Miller nodded his head in understanding. “What you’ve just said ultimately leads to

Expensive Delivery

881) With the way things are going these days, if you can purchase something online, having free delivery is a good deal. Some things, however, are very expensive to have delivered. Since I live in Maine, I know you can have fresh lobster delivered anywhere in the world but the expense will be high. In

I Believe; Help My Unbelief

880) I have read Mark 9:24 many times and as I look at it, it seems it contradicts itself. First, I read- “I believe,” it is a statement of faith. But when I read, “help my unbelief,” that’s where it gets confusing. In thinking about this verse, I wonder if it’s easier to think of

Don’t Be Afraid

879) Whenever I think of God, I have this image of a mighty whirlwind. Someone who is big, powerful and authoritative. These things may be true and because of my image, there’s a part of me that feels like if I encountered God, I would be terrified. In Mark 6:45-56, the disciples were in a

The Unpredictable

Page 186 – The Bottle House After a bit, Chaplain Miller shifted on the bench. “There is comfort in the predictable, but life has a way of interjecting some very unpredictable events.” Stefan nodded, saying nothing. “When the unpredictable happens, we can feel completely out of control. That’s a horrible feeling.” The chaplain looked up

I’m Gonna Tell

878) If you grew up with siblings or around kids in the neighborhood, I’m sure you heard the words, “I’m gonna tell” many times. What did this message mean? It meant that someone saw something you did wrong, and they were eager to report you to your parents or whoever was in charge at the
