An Underused Weapon

2128) When I played basketball, my coaches often taught us plays to use so we could gain an advantage against our competitors. I found the more we practiced these plays, the higher our advantage was.   Similarly, there are things we can do in our Christian walk that will help us stand firm and fight

Peace, Be Still

2127) I was fortunate to have been raised in a Christian family and attended a Christian school. Because of this, I had a high exposure to the Bible.   Mark 4 contains a story I remember from a very early age. In verses 35-41, we read of Jesus and his disciples in a boat during

The Mystery of Prayer

2126) I have an inquisitive mind. Like most things, it’s a blessing, and at others, it’s not helpful.   One time, I wanted to understand how a photocopy machine worked. I thought it was interesting to place a document or photo on the machine and it would reproduce another version of the original.   I

Barbed Wire

2126) While walking with my dog, Cayce, I will often meditate and pray. One of my favorite scriptures I pray through is Psalm 23.   It’s such a familiar passage, but it seems each time I pray through it, I see something new.   Verse 2 tells us God makes it possible for me to

My Daughter

2125) In Mark 5, we read of two daughters. One, at the age of 12, was dying. The other was a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years.   Beside the fact that Jesus raises from the dead the 12-year-old, and healed the woman who had suffered 12 years, I think it’s interesting that

You Are a Light

2124) I have seen and heard some incredible things in my life. I’ve heard a guitarist play very complicated music.   I’ve seen movies which hit me at the core of my being.   I’ve stood in the cathedral of Notre-Dame and had my breath taken from me while seeing the stained-glass windows.   All

When You’re Ready

2123) In studying the life of Jesus, I continually see things I’ve never noticed in the same way before.   For example, When Jesus calls the disciples and asks them to follow me, Jesus does not begin by teaching them complicated things. He simply says, follow me.   It’s not until much later that Jesus

The Life

2122) I was listening to people talking recently and one replied after hearing the other’s story, you need to get a life. I have also heard people say this is the life while marveling over a specific thing.   We know the derivation of these phrases and they popped into my mind as I was

Ask

2121) There are many things I teach in language arts. My young scholars learn (hopefully) the correct way of spelling specific words, how to write an essay and more.   But any good teacher will tell you, we teach far more than this. We are looking ahead to life beyond the classroom for kids, and

The Light

2120) When I was a child, I remember hearing or reading about what it feels like to be in total darkness.   In order to experience this, I went into a windowless room, put a towel down at the bottom of the door, and turned off the light.   Standing there in total darkness was
