I Know You

2587) I was watching a video clip the other day, and the scene featured Jesus and Jairus, the man whose daughter dies, and Jesus raised from the dead. The scene had Jesus standing there, and Jairus before him. After Jairus pleads with Jesus to help his daughter, Jesus looks him in the eye and says,

Hard of Hearing?

2586) As those of you who are aging know, the older we get, the harder our hearing becomes. My hearing isn’t so bad yet, but I find it hard to hear my husband talk when driving because of the noise of the car and his voice pitch. And yet, 1 John 5:14-15 reassures us that

Too Late

2585) I can remember hearing as a child the story of the 10 plagues God sent on Egypt in order for his people to be released from slavery. It took 10 of them before Pharaoh agreed, even though that didn’t last for long. He went after them once again. There are many lessons to be

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.

I Was Only Joking

2541) The other day, I was watching some random videos, and an old clip from a show of yesteryear came up. I sat at my computer and laughed throughout it; smiling when it was over. As I sat there afterward, it occurred to me that humor has changed through the years. Yes, there were the

The Most Powerful

2538) When I taught Jr. High kids, we read a book that described the life of a teen who was captured by Stalin’s NKVD and eventually was held in a camp in Siberia. Because I wanted the kids to consider the strong message of the story, before we read any of it, I held an

Relational Peace

2536) When I was in high school, we often had what was called Singspiration at one of our youth group leaders’ houses. We had a wide repertoire, and one of them included the song, Let There Be Peace on Earth. The subject of peace brings many words and reactions. Will there ever be peace in
