Shouting

2370) Having my young scholars sing for a school concert is always interesting, especially because the older they get, the need to appear “cool” sometimes creeps in. What I enjoy about our school concerts is listening to the younger classes because if their teacher tells them to sing louder, they often interpret that to mean

Calm

2369) I’m not sure if I’ve made this confession in my earlier minutes, but going to the dentist is very stressful for me. My heart rate soars as I sit in the chair, but when they put the x-ray protector on me, my stress calms a bit. They have told me that many of their

Grandparents

2368) Both my husband and I were fortunate to have at least one grandparent who cheered us on. These dear souls purposely encouraged and loved us. When we’d see them, joy lit their faces. This is a picture of what is written in the middle part of Zephaniah 3:17. It reads, He will take great

Bodyguard

2367) Many years ago, I had a new student enter my high school class. He sat down, and then I asked him to do something, and he flipped out. He jumped out of his seat and came after me. At the same time, I saw another one of my students jump from his seat and

Trouble

2366) There have been times in my 40 years of teaching when I have accompanied a student to the principal’s office just as a support. The student may have been caught red-handed, but they are so overwhelmed by the incident, they just need to feel me close by. Zephaniah 3:17 tells us God does the

Who He Is (and Who He’s Not)

2365) If you ask a small child what God is like, they often describe someone like Santa. He is big with a beard. He gives you what you want. He knows when you’ve been good and bad. Of course, as adults, we know better, but do we? Do we not sometimes think of God like

Chasing

2364) The dog I had several years ago was a hunter. You could see his little dachshund tail whipping back and forth in the tall grass, hunting a mouse. Once, he saw one in a camp where we were staying. He sat facing the stove, where the mouse retreated, for two hours, finally catching it.

Worship Includes

2363) Did you know you could be worshipping God without even realizing it? Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:31 that every decision we make to do the right thing. Every thought we focus on building others up. Every time we are kind and respectful to strangers. All of these are forms of worship. Why?

Reframing

2362) Growing up in the South, I learned that some people there believed one race was superior to others. Reflecting on this, I realize this way of thinking isn’t confined to any one place. When I hear a racist joke, I lose respect for the speaker. I redirect their passive aggression by turning the belittling

Test Me

2361) As a thinking teenager immersed in the church, there were many times I would challenge the teaching I received there or youth group. I’d listen and then think about the words in the hours afterward. I didn’t realize then that I was doing just what Jesus stated in John 7:17. Here, Jesus says, anyone
