Once Upon a Time

2416) There was a time in my life when everything I thought I knew was pulled out from under me. I can remember sitting and feeling stunned. From that time forward, it seemed as if I were going through the motions of life. As I existed in a heavy fog, someone told me I was

Listen Carefully

2415) Have you ever noticed how much noise we have in our lives? There’s the noise from those around us. There’s noise online. There’s noise on television. There is also noise in our heads. Because there’s so much noise around, Isaiah 5:20 reminds us we need to be vigilant in evaluating what is said and

Not in a Hurry

2414) While teaching full time, it’s sometimes difficult to do the writing I have been called to do. On top of that, there’s all the other things I do plus run a small sewing business. Because of this, there are some tasks I work to get done quicker to provide me more time doing the

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

With Us

2409) Lately, I’ve had some difficulty with my eyes trying to focus while reading a book. While waiting for a prescription, I saw a rack of “reading” glasses, and I picked out a pair and tried them on. I couldn’t believe how clear everything was up close. I just didn’t realize how bad my near-sightedness

More Than Needed

2408) I can remember hearing, as a child, the Bible story about Jesus feeding the 5,000. I remember the amazement I had when I heard Jesus could feed so many with only 5 small loaves of bread and 2 fish. Reading John 6:1-15, I am reminded that after everyone was fed, the disciples gathered 12

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
