Justice, Mercy & Humility

1184) I am a rule follower (in the sense of the general rules of any “game,” job, etc.) You just tell me what I need to do, and I will continually work at doing it. The problem with being this sort of rule follower is it can give a sense of self-righteousness. I can sit

What Apology?

1183) Waiting for an apology is really a waste of time (unless you are trying to teach a child its values and obligations). So many of us can be caught in this trap because we think that the only way we can let go of the wrong is to first receive an apology. There are

Not an Obligation

1182) There was a game that kids used to play with their hands. You and your opponent would lace your fingers and palms with each other and you would try to bend backward the hands of the other person. The game ends when one player yells, “mercy” when they’d had enough of the pain. The

On the Books?

1181) Think back to your teenaged years, if you dare. What sort of person were you? What were your values? What made you laugh or stirred your anger? Are you that person anymore? What about the person you were in your 20s, 30s, etc. Are you that person? Looking back on my life, I’m proud

R & R

1180) Repent is a word that is used a lot in Christian circles, but have you ever taken the time to understand what the word means? The word repent is used in both the Old Testament and the New. It simply means to change direction. You were going in one direction and then you go

It’s Not Fair!

1179) One phrase I hear a lot in my middle school classroom is, “It’s not fair!” Of course, there is always that usual comeback when many adults say, “Life is just not fair.” This reply can rub the wrong way because, deep down, the thinking person knows that this is an accurate statement. Accepting that

Give What You Receive

1178) Many are quick to say you shouldn’t judge anyone else. This is a blanket statement that often means you must accept anything someone else does. Though judgment is defined as being critical (in a sense of consideration) of others’ actions and choices, it is not compatible with the acceptance of all behaviors. There should

On Hold

1177)  Kids are too overscheduled these days. If it’s not some athletic commitments, it’s schoolwork. If there’s an evening free, they will go over to friends’ houses and play video games for hours. There are always places to go and, for many, family meals together are non-existent. Everyone is so busy these days. Because of

Life is Hard

1176) When I was younger, there was little that stopped me. In high school, I could run all the basketball drills for hours without it phasing me too much. When I first entered the workforce, I could spend hours in the evening, getting ready for the next day in the classroom. I could also fly

Say What?

1175) There are old sayings out there that many of us have heard throughout our lifetime. Some of them include sage advice, but there are others we have just accepted but either aren’t true or contradict what we know to be true. For example, there’s a quote that is not found in the Bible but
