The Company You Keep

595) If you ever get the chance to look at a picture of a couple who have been married 60 years or more, you can often see some likenesses that did not exist when they were first married. That’s because we often take on characteristics of those we spend a lot of time with.

Assumptions Are Often Wrong

594) I have been married 35 years and I would say my husband and I know each other well. Yet, even after all this time, we make assumptions about each other that are often wrong. Assumptions are like guessing another’s motives. We cannot possibly know exactly what others think and why. 1 Kings 8:39 tells

A Hole is Dug One Shovelful at a Time

593) We are all shovel experts. We know where to get it and how it’s used. Some ground is easier to dig into and others, not so much. I often think of this shovel image when I have made poor decisions. Each wrong step I take is like digging and the more I continue in

Prayer is a Mystery to Me

592) If you travel in Christian circles, it’s not unusual to hear someone say, “Please pray for me” or “I’ll pray for you.” I’m hopeful that many mean what they say, that they believe in the power of prayer. As a child, I used to think about this, asking my horrified Sunday school teacher, “Why

Be Careful What You Ask For

591) As an adult, I look back on things I asked God for when I was young and for many of them, I’m so glad He did not give them to me. There are some times in life when the only way someone can learn a lesson is if God does give him/her the very

I Didn’t Sign Up for This

590) Through the years, there have always been some influential religious leaders that preach a prosperity gospel. “God meant you to be blessed! He wants you to tap into His resources and really live.” The problem with this is multi-faceted but, simply put, God does promise us many things: protection, wisdom, strength but rarely prosperity

What God Thinks of Pouting

589) As a teacher, I see the “art” of pouting regularly. This can be tiresome but what’s worse is seeing an adult pout. Pouting is a sophisticated temper tantrum. There are times in this life when God calls on us to do something we’d rather not do – for whatever the reason. Making the choice

God Grieves

588) Some assume when they read or hear that God grieves, it’s because of the evil He sees on this earth. That is true but it’s also equally true that God sees and grieves over our specific miseries in this life. He is not a stoic bystander; He heard the cry of the Israelite slaves.

The Battle is NOT the War

587) When I see or experience difficulties, it’s important that I recognize and differentiate between a battle and a war. For Christians, God has already won the war but there are still battles in this life that rage against us. It’s important to know that in spite of the hurt, blood, grief and difficulties, like

I Didn’t Do It!

586) As a Christian writer, I have had the honor of sitting in front of a blank computer screen and then see God’s content begin to fill it. This can literally be a spiritual experience for me as I know that what I just typed did not come from me. Above my writing station I
