Being Different, All Together

701) I have had the privilege of working with kids, mostly in the junior/senior levels for many years. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time observing kids of these ages. Inevitably, I see many of them wanting clothing, shoes, electronics, cars and more simply because everyone else has them. What I think

The Problem of Assumptions

698) It can be a very hurtful thing if someone makes an incorrect assumption about you. Take a minute and think of a time this happened. What did it feel like, and why? In 1 Samuel 1:12-16, we find a broken-hearted woman–Hannah. She desperately wants to conceive and have a son, but this chapter tells

In Spite of Heartache

697) When I was young, I thought it would be a good idea to know the specific things that would happen in my life ahead of time. My reasoning was that I could “plan” for it. If a gift was on the way, I could decide how to use it. If disease were just around

When God’s Timetable is Frustrating

694) Most of us know that to God a day is like a thousand years. (2 Peter 3:8) Knowing this, it can be frustrating when we want His help now and He takes His time answering. The Israelites experience this same frustration. In Judges 13, the Israelites were, once again, not following God’s laws and

The Power of One Person

689) When you are young, it’s easy to think that one person cannot have a significant effect on others. After all, what can one person do? As age and wisdom permeate our minds and souls, we realize the power and potential of a single person. A glance at history gives a plethora of examples of

The Law of Cause and Effect

671) The principle of cause and effect is something most people are taught in childhood. If you do this, this will happen. If you don’t do this, this will happen, etc. Cause and effect make things easier and less complicated. The wise person has considered the law of cause and effect throughout their days. In

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing

667) When I was a child in Sunday school, I often thought that if I saw the miraculous things that God did in the Bible, I would whole-heartedly believe everything God said or did. I even went to the point of thinking, “Well, no wonder so and so believed. I would too if I saw

When God Doesn’t Make Sense

653) I’ve mentioned before that words and their meanings fascinate me. This may be a reason one specific word stands out to me in Genesis 17. In the New International Version of the Bible, “will” is used 31 times. As I read through this passage, I also notice that the word, “promise” is not used.

In a Little While

647) Remember as a child when Christmas Eve seemed like a week while waiting for the morning? Time seemed so slow. Aging has made time pass quickly but God has told us again and again that this life is but a “blip” on the eternity timeline. This is hard for our human minds to grasp.

Be Prepared

645)  It is not unusual for a child to ask you why you do certain things. This is a part of learning, brain development and curiosity.  As the child ages, the questions will not be as frequent but are more situation-specific. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us that if we are living by the principles of
