Types of Praise

2599) When we praise someone, we often use words. This is a great meal. Your child is so polite. You have been so helpful. Some praises are rooted deep within. Thank you for your support. You make me feel safe. The kindness you shared touched me deeply. There are some praises that aren’t as obvious,

Monkey See…

2598) I had a friend, “Jane”, who seems to be unusually sensitive to the words and phrases people say. I saw this clearly in a conversation I had with her concerning another friend, “Tim”. Without even thinking about it, I used a phrase Tim uses regularly, and Jane, contemptuously said, you’re just parroting Tim and

Where is God?

2597) One thing I have struggled with throughout my life is the fact that, in this life, we cannot see God. We can’t turn to him in a room, see him and continue a conversation, reading his body language, hearing his tone of voice and, of course, listening to what he says. Yes, I know

Heart Examination

2596) As a language arts teacher in the second half of my career, I had my young scholars write a 100-200 word journal, with a different prompt each day. The students actually enjoyed this because I tried to come up with unique and interesting prompts. There were prompts that my young scholars consistently found difficult;

Boundaries

2595) My upbringing as an old-school Christian taught me to consider others before myself. I think this is a good thing, and yet, sometimes, this thinking of others involves boundaries. Leviticus 19:18 tells us to not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor

Self-Control: Extinct?

2594) One of the most difficult skills I tried to help my young scholars develop was self-control. I think it’s difficult for several reasons, and one of them is that many believe it’s just an instinct. Something happens, and then, instinct kicks in, and they act or don’t., believing there’s no mindful control available. As

Hit the Trail

2593) In the state of Maine, there are many trails you can hike. That’s nice but some of these trails have a lot of roots and other things coming up through the ground that if you don’t watch out, you can trip and really hurt yourself. Sometimes life reminds me of these rooted trails, and

Two Words Can Change Your Life

2592) Though there is so much beauty in this world, it can also seem like there’s way too much pain. Some of this pain we inflict upon ourselves. I should have done or said this; but I didn’t. I should not have done or said that; but I did, and more. Satan understands this tendency

Power and Protection

2591) God has given me a lively imagination. When I read something, my mind automatically pictures it. Many times, this is an asset in my work. When I read about the full armor of God in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, I picture each piece in my meditations. One of these pictures surprised me this morning. Verse

Wise Responsibility

2590) When I taught school, sometimes I needed to help my young scholars distinguish the difference between wisdom and knowledge. I usually approached it like this: knowledge means you understand a fact or concept. Wisdom is knowing how to best use the knowledge just learned. The Bible offers much advice on wisdom, and Daniel 12:3
