A Friendly Responsibility

2036) Friendships for my young scholars often waver between best friends and then mortal enemies. I have seen repeatedly one of my kids in manic jubilation over a new friend, to plunging into the depths of despair when the friendship crumbles.   In moments like this, it’s not helpful for me to say, if they

Order Matters

2035) My novel, The Bottle House, centers around the shortest verse in the New Testament. Jesus wept. (John 11:35) But as I was looking at this passage this morning, I noticed something in verse 25. Here Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. Sound familiar?   What I saw that I had not

Two Masters

2034) I have read and observed a fundamental truth about business. It must have one leader, even though there are organizations that should have boards who continually make sure the one in charge acts positively on behalf of that business. Two leaders rarely work because you have two sets of values (even if these both

Wind

2033) Where I live in Maine brings with it much beauty but it also brings a lot of wind. We have had wind so strong here that small buildings, set in cement posts, have blown over. The wind makes many things difficult at times.   John 3 is a passage which cradles a very familiar

More Valuable Than Money

2032) Mankind has always had a love affair with money. We can take stock of what we already have, but it’s easier to see what we don’t, often in comparison to the things of others. These thoughts came to me when I read the familiar verse Hebrews 13:5. It reads, keep your life free from

Out of the Mouths of …

2031) It’s funny how kids can say the most profound things. A few weeks ago, I was doing a project with one of my classes and, as I usually do, I demonstrated how to do it by creating a shortened version of what I expect of them.   As the kids were looking at my

Meek

2030) I continually have to work on restraining my negative reactions to things. It seems at times it’s within a nanosecond for me. Something happens. BOOM. I react. If this sort of thing happens, I often hear within myself and from others. I can’t help my reactions. Matthew 5:5 tells us there are many blessings that

Exhausted

2029) Several years ago, I took some kids on a trip and because of varies problems, I only got about an hour of sleep in a 24-hour period.   I can remember driving the short distance home from the school in almost a trance. I kept shaking my head trying to stay with it. I

In a Rut?

2028) It was so boring is an answer to many questions I ask my young scholars about what they did on the weekend. I question them further and they tell me of hours they have laid around, playing video games or scrolling on their phones.   I’m sure I was bored when I was young

Be Still

2027) When I approach familiar verses to study, it’s a regular practice of mine to look up the words in their original language. It often proves to be insightful.   Once such verse is Psalm 46:10. Be still and know that I am God.   The word for still in Hebrew is raphah which means
