Get Dressed: Humility

1218) Social media has made humility an expensive garment. Most of our posts usually display our best selves and when they don’t, it’s easy to weave in some threads of victimhood. Humility is a superpower that isn’t tapped into enough. Paul tells us to put on the clothing of humility in Colossians 3:12-14.. This means

Get Dressed: Kindness

1217) We often tell children to be kind to one another. Have you ever stopped to evaluate if we are putting on the garment of kindness? In some ways, being kind is easy. An empathetic look or nod of the head or a gently spoken word communicates kindness. Other garments of kindness are not so

Get Dressed: Compassion

1216) When the seasons change in Maine, I spend a morning moving my clothes from one season and replacing those for the upcoming one. Winter and summer here are dominant seasons (though those of you in warmer climates won’t think our summers are “real” ones). The fall and spring seasons often just meld into them.

Feeding the Fire

1215) Several years ago, when I was living in North Carolina, my husband and I had just turned off the light at bedtime and as my head hit the pillow, I head a loud boom! Both of us sat up straight, unsure of what happened. I got up and looked out the window. I immediately

Be an Investigator

1214) Through the years, I have enjoyed reading books and watching TV shows that feature investigations. I find it interesting to follow the individual who is searching for clues, interviewing suspects and drawing conclusions based upon what they find. It’s good that I enjoy this because Paul urges us to be investigators in Colossians 3:1.

What Seems and What Is

1213) Things are not always as they seem. Madeleine L’Engle said it best in her book, A Wrinkle in Time. The conversation goes: “We do not understand what this means to see.” ‘Well, it’s what things look like,’ Meg said helplessly. “We do not know what things look like, as you say,” the beast said.

Choosing Captivity

1212) I had the privilege of hearing a gentleman speak several years ago; he was a survivor of Auschwitz. I took a group of 7th graders to hear him and was not prepared for what I heard. He spoke with pride of his Jewish heritage, but also of the atrocities of being held captive in

Roots

1211) Many years ago, at the high school where I taught, I heard of a mistake that had many consequences in the days and weeks to come. Evidently, someone was supposed to put fertilizer on the football field (or some such thing) and, instead, they put Roundup on it. As you can guess, Roundup got

United

1210) When I was a teen, I had the privilege of going on a summer mission trip with Teen Missions International (TMI). That summer I found out that TMI was very concerned with unifying all the teens on each team (I believe there were 32 on my team??). In order for this to happen, there

A Time to Mourn

1209) Have you ever come to a point in your life when your heart just feels like it’s going to break in two? If you haven’t, you will. When I see someone I love grieving. When I know someone must put their pet to sleep. When I witness the cruelty of words spoken and not
