Heart of Stone

1532) Life in this world is hard. There is death, betrayal, violence, and words that wound. If you have lived as long as I have, you’ve had your share of these things. If the pain that resulted from this is strong enough, it’s easy to do all you can to turn your emotions off and

Rest Revisited

1531) When I read verses like Jeremiah 31:2, I have a hard time understanding it. Here, Jeremiah reminds us that Israel survived the sword and were blessed in the wilderness. I think this is referring to Israel’s time wandering in the desert before going into the promised land. Even if I’m wrong about this notion,

Wild Berries

1530) Here in Maine, we have several fruits that grow wild. We have strawberries, blackberries, apples, raspberries, and blueberries. As is often the case, these wild berries have a better taste than their cultivated kin. The strawberries, for example, are often no bigger than the tip of my pinkie but they pack a powerful flavor.

Pass It On

1529) When I was a kid, we would sing a song called Pass It On. It is a song whose notes I hear 50 years later. This song reminds us God loves us and we should pass it on to others. We find this admonition to pass on to others what God has done for

It Doesn’t Work!

1528) One thing I’ve struggled to reconcile within me is the fact that in so many places in the Bible, when someone cries out to God, he grants whatever they ask for. I struggle with this because the times I have cried out to God in this same manner, he doesn’t seem to answer it

So Many Enemies

1527) When I read the Psalms, I find that David spends a lot of time talking to God about all his enemies. This makes sense to me, as I know David lived in a time when Israel had many enemies and war was often imminent. As David processes yet another attack, we see many verses

A Fight to Eternity

1526) There have been a few times in my life when I experienced the warmth and gratitude of someone sticking up for me. You see, I find sticking up for myself difficult for multiple reasons, but when someone else does, the relief, gratitude and joy is palpable. These thoughts lead me to my wedding vows,

Conscience Curiosity

1525) I find the “study” of what a conscience is fascinating. It’s interesting to observe (or read about) someone when they are confronted with a moral choice in life and what urges them (or doesn’t) to make the right choice. I see this too in my classroom. Although I’m not an expert, I’ve always been

We Can’t See Everything

1524) I am so grateful I was raised going to church and learning from God’s word. One of the Bible verses I can remember from my childhood is the last part of Deuteronomy 31:6. It says, “(I) will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Good words to

Judgment Time

1523) I am the most judgmental person I know. Does that surprise you? It doesn’t me. When it comes to pointing out failures, unthoughtful words and actions and lifestyle choices that are missing the mark, I am the first to call it out. Another detail that’s important to this confession is that all these things
