Fighting

2413) A long time ago, something disturbing and yet endearing happened to me. Someone was giving me a hard time, calling me names, yelling degrading things, and more.

Seasons in the Soul

2412) I miss having four distinct seasons because I live in Maine. It seems like we go from winter into summer without the benefit of spring. In fact, many here say there is a season between these, and it is mud season. Reading Ecclesiastes 3:1, I am reminded of the time when I first considered

Everywhere

2411) I saw a movie several years ago that resonates within me still. The movie is A Beautiful Mind. It’s the story of the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician, John Nash.

Hope versus Evil

2410) I yearn for the day when I will be in God’s presence, not because my life here is bad, but because there’s so much that isn’t good, even evil in this life. Jeremiah 29:11 is one of those verses that is well known. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,

With Us

2409) Lately, I’ve had some difficulty with my eyes trying to focus while reading a book.

Towers

2407)  When I was young, I can remember hearing for the first time the phrase, don’t judge a book by its cover. I recall frowning in thought and concluding that I do judge a book this way. It made me question the validity and accuracy of this statement. When I go to the library or

What’s Next?

2405) I like things to be predictable in my life. I follow a schedule, and when this schedule changes or I’m in situations that are totally new to me; I get anxious. It really doesn’t matter if this new is better. It’s in times like this I try to remind myself of Psalm 16:11. Here

Majestic

2404) When you have a serious need, it’s wise to go to the one in charge. In a store, it would be the manager, but ultimately, it may mean you go straight to the owner; after all, they have the final say. In 1 Chronicles 29:11, David writes that God is majestic, meaning infinitely above

Victorious

2403) When the company that manufactures batteries came up with the marketing plan of the Energizer Bunny, they hit gold. Who isn’t familiar with the claim that its product goes on and on and on?
