Long-term vs. Short-term

2475) When my young scholars come to me in some sort of angst, I listen and then, if appropriate, I’ll ask them to evaluate whether the problem is a short-term one (such as a difficult substitute teacher) or a long-term one (one of their everyday teachers). It’s hard for tweens to make this evaluation because

Too Far Gone

2474) When I read about history or even watch the news, I’ll see people who have done some (and many) horrific things while on this earth. I think about the fact that the Bible teaches that no one is too far gone to receive God’s grace if they ask for it. Luke 23:43. In some

Beauty

2473) It’s funny how our definition of what is beautiful changes. In our teens, we’re often distracted by making sure our hair, clothing, etc. is beautiful. As we age, beauty morphs into a closer look into the beautiful within. 1Peter 3:4 reminds us that God sees gentleness and a quiet or tranquil spirit as beautiful.

Preparing

2472) As my retirement date gets closer, I have begun to prepare for it. I’m giving my students my dachshund paraphernalia and filling boxes with things I will bring home permanently. Preparation is important, especially when it comes to tasks that can potentially take a long time to complete. John 14:2 tells us God prepares

Pretzels and Paws

2471) When I was walking my little dachshund, Cayce yesterday, he was delighted to find that someone had left of trail of discarded chocolate covered pretzels on the road. Because Cayce has a very sensitive stomach and usually vomits when eating stuff like this, I quickly told him no, and he immediately left the wonderful

Look

2470) I love sunrises and sunsets. Where I live, I can see them plainly, and it isn’t surprising that I have on my computer a folder full of pictures. Psalm 19:1 gives a response I frequently have when I see the morning or evening sky. It tells us the heavens declare the glory of God.

Naps

2469) Whenever I visited my beloved grandparents, it was understood that after lunch they would take a nap for about 30 minutes. It was enough to rejuvenate them for the rest of the day. People take naps, but God doesn’t. Psalm 121:3 tells us God is always watching over us. He doesn’t overlook what’s going

Be Still

2468) I grew up going to church and I’m sure one of the difficult jobs my parents had was trying to get us to sit still through the whole service. It wasn’t that we were “bad” but because it was something children find difficult. I don’t think children are the only ones who find being

Stones and Tongues

2467) There is someone I know whom I respect in many ways. One way is the fact that this person is quiet and chooses to speak up after careful consideration. I wish I were more like that. Children are sometimes told the sticks and stones litany, but we all know words can hurt and even

None

2466) I can remember hearing about Noah and the ark when I was small. I thought it would have been fun to have all the animals with me on a boat. (I clearly didn’t understand what a burden of responsibility Noah had concerning them.) As I reflect on 2 Peter 3:9, God wants to give
