I Know You – Part 2

2346) The dachshund breeder where we got Cayce loves what she does. On her Facebook page, she frequently posts pictures of babies born, and her love and enthusiasm are evident. Sometimes she’ll post on her page (Bald Mountain Dachshunds) sonograms of upcoming litters. I know this is how this lovely lady makes a living, but

I Know You – Part 1

2345) It’s funny, but I was thinking of the Vacation Bible Schools I attended during my childhood. I chuckle over this as in January in Maine, summer is a word that is far, far away. One of the things I remember about VBS is the story of Jesus being the Great Shepherd, using passages including

When God Breaks His Promises

2344) Did my title for this “minute” surprise you? I can assure you I was not writing it as clickbait. How many times have we read a promise from God and wondered, is he really keeping his promises? How about Matthew 7:7–Ask and it will be given you? And you’ve asked and asked for a

Follow Him

2343) When I was small, we often sang in Sunday school, I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men. I will make you fishers of men if you follow me. I always wondered how “following” Jesus is possible because I could only understand the literal meaning. I think the answer

Rolling

2342) There are some days that are more difficult to be a teacher than others. One such time is when we have indoor recess. It’s almost always related to weather. (Though I remember a few times way back when we had indoor recess because black bears were at the school dumpster having a snack.) This

Flattery Will Get You?

2341) There’s a difference between encouraging and flattering. When we encourage, we are supporting someone. We hope to bring confidence and maybe hope. (Oxford Languages.) To flatter someone, we give insincere praise, usually to further one’s own interests. (Oxford Languages.) The word flatter in Hebrew is chalaq, which means to separate and divide.

Price Tags

2340) As I grow older, I find myself thinking and doing things I promised myself when I was younger that I would never do. One of them is to compare how much things cost when I first started out as an adult to the cost of things now. In those first years, I really didn’t

Death

2339) Death represents finality. It means a separation between humans and between humans and animals. Death has the ability to turn our lives upside down because when someone (or something) dies, we walk along in life without them, and this can cause an ache deep within the soul. When we, or someone we care about,

Companion

2338) My little dog, Cayce, loves to walk. All I have to do is get my walking shoes out, and he goes crazy. It’s so nice to have a companion when I’m walking. My last dog’s health made it impossible for him to walk with me nine years out of the 11 that I had

Intrinsic Value

2337) I once had a professor, Johnny Miller, who did a sermon on intrinsic value. He gave personal examples of this, and as best as my memory can recall, there were three. First, Johnny told of his young daughter, who got an ice cream cone. As she was eating it, the ice cream fell off
