Sword Fighting

1860) I have never seen a sword fight, especially when one person pierces another, but I have seen a dart get thrown and pierce a playmate’s back. It’s a harsh scene, even in my mind 50 years later. In picturing this, I understand Proverbs 12:18 better. It tells us rash words are like sword thrusts and

A Heavy Burden

1859) As God’s children, we are in full-time ministry. We are called to bear with one another in love, Ephesians 4:2. This word, bear, in the Greek is anechó, which means to hold up or suffer with another. This holding up or suffering is a heavy burden because to do so, it’s almost as if you’re

I Want to Hold Your Hand

1858) There was a time once when I was overwhelmed with the grief of a circumstance that was highly painful.  The person who came to help me said nothing; they just held my hand and didn’t let go. Though I have never been a touchy feely kind of person, this act of compassion helped me calm

The Comfort of Always

1857) If you ever dare to spend time with tweens, you’ll be put before the bar of judgement on much that you say.  If you tell them, “If you don’t have your homework done, you’ll be in at study hall to get it done.” Then the day came when I find out one of my young scholars

Ghosts

Do you see ghosts? Yes, my question needs an explanation. The ghosts I’m referring to are the images and thoughts I have about my past decisions and deeds that were not good. My ghost shows up when I make a mistake or don’t hold my tongue. They are real quick to condemn me over and

Doing, Loving and Walking

1855) Sometimes it’s easy to make Christianity complicated. So many rules, principles and admonition but it’s really not complicated. Micah 6:8 boils down what our God requires of us.  We are to do, love and walk. Huh? The Old Testament Prophet tells us what we are to do: Do justice to all we are associated. Love

The Value of Trust

1854) There are times when I have a heart-to-heart talk with my young scholars. One of the subjects we discuss is the issue of trust. I try to help them understand, as much as young children can, that trust is a valuable thing. I tell my students once you lose someone’s trust it is very

Lost Time

1853) Al Steward sings a song entitled, Time Passages and, being a wordsmith, I pay attention to the lyrics. These lines catch my attention: Well, I’m not the kind to live in the past.The years run too short and the days too fast.The things you lean on are the things that don’t last.Well, it’s just now

Understanding Safe

1852) Winter in Maine is beautiful, and yet, difficult. You need to be prepared because a storm can put everything at a standstill for a few hours. There is one thing about winters in Maine that is a source of anxiety in my little dog. When the snow plow guy comes, Cayce gets very agitated. It

The Source

1851) The other day, something happened, and it left me very irritated. Unfortunately, my irritation flew out of my mouth at the closest target, which was my husband. Fortunately, my husband is one who doesn’t react this way, and he asked me a question that has stayed with me. He asked, are you really upset about
