I Am

2479) Age is a funny thing. If you ask my young scholars their ages, they will say something like, “I’m 10 and ½”. Ask an adult woman, you might get a number, but it won’t be, “and a ½”. When I read about the event of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3, I

Who Are You Wrestling With?

2478) When I was a kid, my brothers and I used to watch wrestling. Now, let’s be clear, these were a bunch of men putting on a show, and as a kid of 10, I was dazzled by it. As I think about wrestling, my mind goes to Jacob in the book of Genesis. Jocab

Balance

2464) I can remember some of my physical education classes in early elementary school involved walking on a balance beam. I wasn’t very good at it, and I guess my school also thought my classmates and I weren’t because the beam was only a few feet above the floor.  Galatians 6:9 reflects balance. Paul tells

It Costs

2461) Because of the current economy, many of us think twice (or even more) about what we’re purchasing and how much it costs. Everyday living is costly. The economy isn’t the only cost we should ponder. The other one is mentioned in Romans 15:5. It reveals to us that the God of endurance and encouragement

Share not Remove

2458) If you have an empathetic heart, it’s easy to want to fix things for those we love. The ability to feel along with others is a gift, but not so we can remove what is bringing pain. We don’t have the power to do that, but we can share other’s burdens. In 2 Timothy

Engraving and Walls

2449) Life is often a roller-coaster. We are propelled forward and upward into an exciting and joyful time, and then, like roaring down a hill, we land in difficulties and even despair. As much as we’d like to manipulate things, both are facts of this life. Because of this, these can lead us to question

Looking for Evidence

2448) It’s funny that if we take the time to honestly look at one event in our lives, we can often see multiple things. For example, if I consider my first year of teaching, looking at the evidence, I see a young woman who often made mistakes. I see someone who had grandiose ideas which

Voices

2440) Everyone hears voices in their head. You know, that little whisper within that tries to communicate information so we can do all the things we do outside of us and within. Sometimes this voice is helpful and other times, not so much. The Bible tells us God often speaks to us. For example: Jeremiah

Pick it Up

2445) When it comes to grocery shopping, there is one store I hate (and yes, that’s the word) to go. I find myself going there every once-in-a-while because it has the best prices on certain items. One of the reasons I hate going there is because of the crowds. Navigating the aisles is difficult, and

Now and Then

2433) Have you ever stopped and thought about life in heaven? What will my interactions with God be like? The Bible reveals some information about the next life, and Psalm 107:1 is one of those passages. It reads, oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. (ESV)
