Right There

2580) There have been times in my life when I’ve needed and asked for someone to show up with me for a difficult situation. These times included a medical procedure, a hard conversation, or a time when I needed to stick up for myself, but I was too timid. This other person rarely spoke to

Predictably Unpredictable

2577) A while ago, my mother gave me the baby book she kept as I grew up. When I brought it home, I looked through the pages and found a letter my kindergarten teacher wrote to my parents concerning me. It was short, and yet I nodded my head at the insight this teacher had

Seeking Heaven on Earth

2576) There’s a yearning I believe Christians have, that maybe isn’t always obvious. It causes us to yearn for heaven and the good things it includes. This yearning believes there will be no more tears, death, sorrow, and crying in heaven. Revelation 21:4. Where some of us go wrong with this promise is that we

Sightseeing

2561) I have seen some incredible things while riding or driving around. Once, I saw a station wagon in front of my car that had a dog standing on the roof. It sat down when the driver made a right turn. I have also seen on the interstate highway some men standing beside their car

The Long Run

2539) I have a friend who is a runner. I have a lot of respect for her, as this is something I really don’t like doing. I jokingly say to her, the only time I run is if someone is chasing me. The term, the long run, doesn’t typically refer to running. It’s the ability

Delight

2534) There have been many times when I have stood back and observed people. I am particularly zeroed in on the delight and joy I can see in others’ faces. This delight might be a result of someone seeing their kids doing something endearing. It might be in response of someone playing with a pet.

Faith Examined

2520) I love to walk in the evenings with my little four-legged companion. One of the reasons is I love the colors of nature due to the sun’s position. Things don’t look washed out because of the over-brightness of sunshine. As I walk, I marvel at the specific types of leaves on display beside the

Comparing

2519) I have seen some marvelous things in my life. I have seen the Cathedral of Norte Dame. I have seen an ancient pyramid of the Myan people. I have viewed breath-taking paintings created by man. So many beautiful things people have created have left me speechless. And yet, Hebrews 3:4 reminds us that houses
