Impressive Prayers

2199) I grew up hearing adults praying. I heard my parents at the dinner table. I heard basketball coaches praying for safety on the court. I heard a grandfather praying over morning breakfast.   Each of these prayers had different content and word uses. I can now choose to emulate their prayers, and God would

Age

2198) I entered an unusual writing competition and though I didn’t place, I am still proud of my entry. The contest was, write a first line for a book that can resonate with your readers.   Mine was, I used to see in black and white, but now I see in shades of gray.

Eye Sight

2197) I had a young scholar once, who had been homeschooled his entire life and then came to school and wound up in my classroom. (Sorry, kid, you were stuck with me.)   As the school year began, I noticed he was having a terrible time getting assignments and information off my dry erase board.

Prayer

2196) I’m sure I’ve mentioned the following conversation somewhere in past “minutes” but it’s worthy of repetition.   When I was in Bible college, I had a professor who was speaking about individuals in the Bible and throughout our lives who were/are considered great people of God.   I heard this teacher go on and

Provision

2195) I recently read about the big test God gave Abraham in Genesis 22. It’s an unbelievable story of love, trust and deliverance.   From previous chapters in Genesis, we read that Abraham and Sarah waited many years before God provided their son, Isaac. Then God asked Abraham to sacrifice this son he had waited

All Good Gifts

2194) I have a drawer full of notes and things my young scholars have given me and I look through them from time to time. Many of them were given from hearts full of love.   James 1:17 reminds us every good gift we receive, even words from someone’s heart, are from God.   Every

Important Words

2193) I have often heard and even said them, actions speak louder than words, but sometimes speaking up is necessary.   Our words are a big part of communication. We can encourage, build up, remind, instruct and praise; all with the use of our words.   We are given a command found in Psalm 105:1.

Inventory

2192) I have had a small sewing business for several years and have learned many things. One is that taking an inventory of my products is vital.   An inventory tells me what I have available and I can double-check what I have for sale in my electronic catalogue. I want to make sure I

My Helper

2191) For various reasons, the being referred to as the Holy Spirit has been someone I have not spent much time studying and experiencing. I admit he’s a hard concept to understand and this side of eternity, he will continue to be a mystery.   Yet, there are some things about the Holy Spirit I

Not Me

2190) From time to time, as I’m writing these “minutes,” I sense a surge of opposition within.   The message is, how can you write these minutes when you struggle and fail at many of them? Often, I nod my head in agreement, but I continue writing because of the truth found within John 7:16.
