Scales

2528) When you hear the word scales, what do you think of? Do you think of that small apparatus some have in the bathroom which tattles on you from time to time? Do you think of weighing the fresh fruit you put in a thin plastic bag which almost certainly will split and your fruit

Gates

2527) We had a house once in my childhood that had a fenced-in yard and a gate right in front of the house. We used to put our feet in the bottom part of the gate and “swing” on it; therefore, this gate hung kind of crooked. As I think about gates, I ask myself,

Nothing

2526) Relationships can be so tricky. Are we friends, strangers, or mere acquaintances? Are we critical, accepting, or blind? Are we obligated, lonely, or magnanimous? How to navigate all the different relationships we have is a trial and often error-filled journey, and because of this, it’s easy to assume our relationship with God follows these

Work’s Effort

2525) It’s not always easy to teach kids that they will experience different things depending on how hard they work on something. Effort builds confidence, experience, and good self-esteem. The lack of effort builds a hole that can grow so deep and wide they fall into it. It brings experience, but in the negative realm,

Many Prayers

2524) I can remember as a child sitting with my family in church. When it came time for the pastor to pray before the sermon, it seemed to me that it went on and on, forever in a child’s ears. Sometimes we can have the wrong idea about how God wants us to pray. Should

Numbers

2523) I have heard people say your age is just a number. When I find I do not have the same stamina as I used to, it’s not just because of a number; it’s because I’m aging. In Psalm 90:12, we read that we have a responsibility, and it is to number our days. We

A Long, Short Memory

2522) It’s interesting that we have certain memories that stay in our heads for long periods of time. These memories can be good ones or bad and can come to mind at any moment. Some of the memories that reignite my mind are past bad choices and, at times, repeat over and over. When this

Three Things

2521) I have noticed in my writing that I often use three points, examples or arguments about multiple things. I like this because three give validity for whatever point I’m making. It’s not just two examples or points, it’s three, showing credibility. In light of this, it’s interesting that God, too, uses three things in

Faith Examined

2520) I love to walk in the evenings with my little four-legged companion. One of the reasons is I love the colors of nature due to the sun’s position. Things don’t look washed out because of the over-brightness of sunshine. As I walk, I marvel at the specific types of leaves on display beside the

Comparing

2519) I have seen some marvelous things in my life. I have seen the Cathedral of Norte Dame. I have seen an ancient pyramid of the Myan people. I have viewed breath-taking paintings created by man. So many beautiful things people have created have left me speechless. And yet, Hebrews 3:4 reminds us that houses
