Authors

2809) Being an author may sound romantic to some, but the truth is, it’s very hard work. It may surprise you that writing the book, story, poem, or essay is the easy part. After this comes the editing, rewrites, editing again, over and over. You then need to hire a professional editor for the genre

It’s an Honor

2508) It’s an honor to serve you. It’s an honor to be nominated. It’s an honor to be remembered. All of these we can relate to. When we look at honor in 1 Timothy 1:17, we see Paul reminds us that our God is the King of all ages and he’s immortal, though invisible. These

Weights

2507) If I make the time to take a good look around me, I can see people who appear to be carrying a heavy load. Experience also shows me that some people who are just as heavily burdened cover it up really well. Proverbs 12:25 tells us people’s hearts can be weighed down with the

A Great Investment

2506) I have mentioned before in these minutes that when I write about familiar verses, I try to look a little deeper for some not-so-obvious treasures. Today’s familiar verse is Jeremiah 33:3. Call unto me, and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (ESV) The

Passive Entitlement

2504) There is so much that happens in our modern world here in America, and if you look and listen closely, you can frequently see and hear the actions of others based on a sense of entitlement. I’m entitled to rage while driving. I’m entitled to spreading the “true” story of what happened. I’m entitled

A Full House

2503) For many years, I took high school kids on retreats, twice a year. There, we studied God’s word, played games, ate, and laughed a lot. There was one thing I really didn’t like about these events, and that was trying to get some sleep in a cabin full of talkative and excited girls. Their

Hearing

2502) It amazes me to read about the miracles of Jesus. I try to stand in the place of the one receiving the miracle and wonder what it would have felt like. The miracle I think of today is found in Matthew 8:5-13. Here, a centurion comes to Jesus about healing his servant who is

Building

2501) What is your home like? Not the physical home, but the atmosphere. Some like being home because it is a place of peace, solace, and safety. If home is not like this, it’s easy to assume you have no control over it. No control might be true for small children, but Proverbs 24:3-4 tells

Holy

2500) When I was in high school, if a couple were dating, the girl would often wear the boy’s class ring on her finger. This was a statement that she “belonged” to another. For many girls, it felt so good to be wanted and “belonging” to someone else. This was a public statement. In 1

Flexible Peace

2499) For many reasons, I am a planner. This is a helpful thing while being self-employed. I have a schedule; I stick to it. Routines are my calm place. However, life rarely runs as planned. Routines get interrupted. Our bodies get sick and more. When I read Hebrews 12:14, it reminds me that striving for
