Fan the Flame

2613) I was recently reading about Nicholas Winton, who was a British citizen traveling in Prague in 1938. He witnessed the treatment of Jews as Nazi Germany established itself in Poland. Wisely seeing what was ahead for the Jews, Winton decided to save as many children as he could by having them brought to Great

Your Example

2612) When I worked with kids, I was often aware of the responsibilities I had and one of them was to practice what I preached. My example was very important. If I told a troubled teen to choose his words wisely when in conflict, I should be a living example of this for him in

Be Aware

2611) Where I live, we have a huge overpopulation of deer. Someone local told me as they drove a 3-mile circuit nearby, they saw 54. Because there are so many deer, as a driver, you have to be diligent or you’ll have a collision with these beautiful animals. My problem is, sometimes when I’m driving,

I’m Thirsty

2610) Have you ever been really thirsty? It seems odd to me, but the time I want a drink of water the most is right when I crawl into bed. I can feel the craving within, and I take a long drink from the water bottle I keep on my nightstand. Psalm 63:1 tells us

Who I Belong To

2609) When I was in high school, some girls would wear their boyfriend’s class ring. This made a statement that she “belonged” to or was in a relationship with him. This was something that could make a girl feel better about herself; after all, everyone could see that someone wanted her. John 13:34-35 tells us

2608) Being a child of God isn’t always easy. There’s so much our minds and hearts cannot truly understand in this life. Because of this, I like to read what others have gleaned from their faith, hoping to give me some insight I had not considered. A quote I read recently (and, I’m sorry, I

Representative

2607) Election times have become a burden to many these days. If you only read or watch ads from those running for office, you know it can be disconcerting. Who do you believe? What spin is being put on the candidate, good and bad? Is there anyone who is interested in the everyday people who

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

Be Prepared

2604) When I was a teacher, we would have fire drills so that if a fire happened, the adults and students would be prepared. (We actually had a fire once at school, and this preparation helped tremendously.) I am interested in always being prepared for the unexpected things in life. In this preparation, however, I

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
