A Wise Answer

2605) Growing up in the church, I was always confused when I heard adults say they are listening to God’s words and guidance. A child can only process this in terms of what he or she knows and they will often think, God’s words and guidance must be audible and even in face-to-face interaction. Because

Integrity

2603) Integrity is valuable. I define it as choosing to do the right thing when no one else is watching. What makes it take on more value in my eyes is these right choices are not as common these days. Proverbs 10:9 tells us that someone walking in integrity walks securely. (ESV) Making the choice

If It Doesn’t Work…

2601) Have you ever wondered why we sometimes repeat specific words or behaviors when they have a history of not delivering the outcome we wanted? For example, my young scholars might tell me that the pencil sharpener isn’t sharpening, and yet, they continue to use the sharpener and the pencil gets smaller. I’d look at

Passive Aggression

2600) Aggressive people sometimes scare me. I can feel the anxiety building up in my body, and it makes me very uncomfortable. But passive aggression isn’t always obvious, so I don’t always react when I experience it. Of the two, I think that passive aggression can be more destructive because it’s subtle. Proverbs 26:18-19 addresses

Monkey See…

2598) I had a friend, “Jane”, who seems to be unusually sensitive to the words and phrases people say. I saw this clearly in a conversation I had with her concerning another friend, “Tim”. Without even thinking about it, I used a phrase Tim uses regularly, and Jane, contemptuously said, you’re just parroting Tim and

Self-Control: Extinct?

2594) One of the most difficult skills I tried to help my young scholars develop was self-control. I think it’s difficult for several reasons, and one of them is that many believe it’s just an instinct. Something happens, and then, instinct kicks in, and they act or don’t., believing there’s no mindful control available. As

Hit the Trail

2593) In the state of Maine, there are many trails you can hike. That’s nice but some of these trails have a lot of roots and other things coming up through the ground that if you don’t watch out, you can trip and really hurt yourself. Sometimes life reminds me of these rooted trails, and

Wise Responsibility

2590) When I taught school, sometimes I needed to help my young scholars distinguish the difference between wisdom and knowledge. I usually approached it like this: knowledge means you understand a fact or concept. Wisdom is knowing how to best use the knowledge just learned. The Bible offers much advice on wisdom, and Daniel 12:3

Unpopular

2583) There have been times in my life when I have sought popularity. Jr. high, for example. It’s also true that I have occasionally wished for popularity as a writer. After all, this often generates sales. There have also been times when I’ve sought unpopularity from certain groups out of rebellion. I see this on

Going for a Walk

2582) Unless it’s the dead of winter, I walk regularly with my little dog. Most of the time it’s just us, but occasionally I’ll walk with a friend. I don’t really mind walking with a friend from time to time because it’s an excellent opportunity to have pleasant conversations, but sometimes it’s a bit of
