A Better Solution

2349) I learn a lot from my young scholars. Some lessons come as I observe their words and actions. One such observation is when one of them is sharpening a pencil. They’ll grind it and grind it and grind it and then, almost always on cue, they’ll say, This pencil won’t sharpen. At this point,

Knives

2348) For many years now, I have been prone to drop things. I don’t know if there’s a medical problem, but it’s a reality. I have found that if I’m not careful to acknowledge this when I’m holding things that can cause great damage or be damaged if I drop them, it can lead to

Don’t Forget

2347) From time to time I listen to an old talk show program when I’m walking. On one show, I heard the host say to a husband something like, you’d better understand that women have very long memories when it comes to the things in a marriage. I chuckled when I heard it because I

Examples

Winning Against Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s
