What We Make Time For

1911) I’ve read in multiple places that we make time to do the things we want to do. It may not be as much time as we’d like, but still, if we want to do something, there is time.   One thing many don’t need to make time for and that’s mentioned in Isaiah 2:4.

Remembering

1910) Remembering at my age is a mental maze. I find myself entering a specific path, but as I walk, I sometimes don’t remember where I was two minutes ago, not to mention where I need to be going.   Because remembering gets more difficult as we age, John 14:26 becomes even more important. It

Best in Disaster

1909) Verses like Proverbs 1:3 left me questioning a truth from God at one time. It tells us we will dwell secure and at ease if we listen to God’s words. It says if we do these things; we do not need to dread disaster.   What left me questioning is, how can I not

Give Me Peace

1908) When I read verses like John 14:27, I often have an internal conflict if I take the time to meditate on it. The verse says, (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be

Sink Drains

1907) It’s very interesting to me that the world my young scholars are growing up in is so melded to technology, and yet, they don’t know their way around their state-issued laptops. I have to spend large chunks of time working with them so they can become reasonably proficient in the academic use of these

You Go First

1906) If you have not read about the Shackleton Expedition, you are truly missing out. My students and I read Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World by Jennifer Armstrong every year and, even though I have read it many times, I am still in awe of the leadership of Sir Earnest Shackleton and how

Liars

1905) If you have been around children, your own or “borrowed,” you learn to read body language to discern if they are telling you the truth. If they aren’t, they often will not look you in the eye. There’s a pause in their answer (or no pause at all). They come up with a reply

Price Tags

1903) As Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are approaching, I’m even more mindful of how much things cost. I remember a month or so ago; I was going to buy a piece of corned beef, to make my husband a New England boiled dinner and the cheapest cut was $38.00. I didn’t buy one. The price

Light

1902) Light at this time of the year is limited in Maine. It gets dark early and the morning light is reluctant to shine. This gets me thinking about what light does for me. It allows me to see where I’m going (or what pitfalls to avoid). Light allows me to drive through snow and

The Kingdom

1901) Because I had the privilege of being raised in the church, went to a Christian school, graduated from a Bible college and taught public school Bible for just shy of 20 years, I’m very acquainted with many Bible verses. This comes in handy so many times in my day to-day but there is a
