What Looks Versus What Is

2214) The older I get, the more I understand that what I see isn’t always what reality is.   We all see the world through the lenses of our experiences, and yet, good and evil exist regardless of how we see them.   Seeing this world in its spiritually fallen state can be hard to

It’s Contagious

2213) In many ways, we’re living in an angry world. Go on the interstate highway and you’ll see plenty of road rage.   Watch people shopping on Black Friday and you’ll see some tempers fly.   Because of these things, Proverbs 22:24 is important. It says, and I paraphrase it, don’t make friends, or even

We Are Family

2212) Family is a word that holds meaning for most people. It can be a good thing or a cumbersome thing.   Whatever the word family conjures up in your head, it’s meant to label you have a special relationship with someone.   You do things because they’re family. You are loyal because they are

On Purpose

2211) It’s always been important to me to know specifically what my purpose is. I realize all of God’s children have a similar purpose: to know God and make him known. (The motto of the Bible college I attended,) but I have always sought to know specific things I can do for God.   What

I’m Thirsty

2210) Many years ago, I was watching something on TV where the characters were trying to cross a desert, they became desperately thirsty. When they finally got to a water source, they drank deeply.   Our bodies crave water (in whatever form you might like). It needs water to survive. You can’t be healthy without

The Good News About Bad News

2209) Doesn’t it seem that when you get one burden, even disaster behind you and then, boom! Something difficult, unexpected and even horrible happens again.   I wish I could say to you the exact things you should do in times like these, but I find myself in this situation at times and don’t always

When the Fight Is No Longer Possible

2208) Conflict and problems are, unfortunately, part of this life. Therefore it’s a useful ability to learn and practice how to fight.   I’m not referring to fistfights, but those situations when you really need to and should fight for yourself and/or others.   But we also know there are times when the conflict, problem,

Reflection

2207) On a recent anniversary, my husband and I were talking about the fact that I have become more like him in some ways and he has become like me in others. This doesn’t surprise most of us. Proverbs 13:20 piggybacks on this by reminding us that if we spend time with the wise, we

Communication

2206) There are all sorts of reminders that cross our paths which state the importance of good communication.   This is true in a marriage, family, jobs and friendships.   But some communication of both the speaker and the listener is in stating the obvious. Sometimes we just have to say, I’m angry; it’s not

Guardian

2205) I have a wild and wonderful dog who lives with us. My young scholars probably know more about him than my husband does. He’s part of my Boone Tails children’s books series.   I could write about many delightful things about Cayce and a good handful of peculiarities, like his habit of stealing dishtowels
