Give A Little

2615) Giving is a superpower that is sometimes overlooked. The Bible teaches about this in multiple places, such as Acts 20:35 – there are more blessings in giving than receiving. Paul also adds his two cents worth (pun intended) in 2 Corinthians 9:6. He reminds us that if we give little, we will only receive

Today

2614) For various reasons, many have learned to spend time looking backward, viewing all the pain or good times as if they fear losing them. Many also spend time looking toward the future. What do they need to get ready? Where will they be in 5 years? I don’t think either of these things are

Fan the Flame

2613) I was recently reading about Nicholas Winton, who was a British citizen traveling in Prague in 1938. He witnessed the treatment of Jews as Nazi Germany established itself in Poland. Wisely seeing what was ahead for the Jews, Winton decided to save as many children as he could by having them brought to Great

Your Example

2612) When I worked with kids, I was often aware of the responsibilities I had and one of them was to practice what I preached. My example was very important. If I told a troubled teen to choose his words wisely when in conflict, I should be a living example of this for him in

Be Aware

2611) Where I live, we have a huge overpopulation of deer. Someone local told me as they drove a 3-mile circuit nearby, they saw 54.

Who I Belong To

2609) When I was in high school, some girls would wear their boyfriend’s class ring. This made a statement that she “belonged” to or was in a relationship with him.

Testing or Strengthening

2608) Being a child of God isn’t always easy. There’s so much our minds and hearts cannot truly understand in this life. Because of this, I like to read what others have gleaned from their faith, hoping to give me some insight I had not considered. A quote I read recently (and, I’m sorry, I

Representative

2607) Election times have become a burden to many these days. If you only read or watch ads from those running for office, you know it can be disconcerting. Who do you believe? What spin is being put on the candidate, good and bad? Is there anyone who is interested in the everyday people who

Announcements

2606) When I taught school, we would have a daily time of announcements heard through the speaker in my room. The sudden voice from the office rarely surprised me, but when these announcements came later than the usual time, it could startle me. By nature, the school administration makes announcements for specific purposes such as
