Fighting

2413) A long time ago, something disturbing and yet endearing happened to me. Someone was giving me a hard time, calling me names, yelling degrading things, and more.

Seasons in the Soul

2412) I miss having four distinct seasons because I live in Maine. It seems like we go from winter into summer without the benefit of spring. In fact, many here say there is a season between these, and it is mud season. Reading Ecclesiastes 3:1, I am reminded of the time when I first considered

What’s Next?

2405) I like things to be predictable in my life. I follow a schedule, and when this schedule changes or I’m in situations that are totally new to me; I get anxious. It really doesn’t matter if this new is better. It’s in times like this I try to remind myself of Psalm 16:11. Here

Majestic

2404) When you have a serious need, it’s wise to go to the one in charge. In a store, it would be the manager, but ultimately, it may mean you go straight to the owner; after all, they have the final say. In 1 Chronicles 29:11, David writes that God is majestic, meaning infinitely above
