Feelings and Choices

1870) Sometimes it’s easy to assume our feelings are good or bad. If this were true, then we should be able to prevent them from existing within. What makes this issue sticky is how we act in response to these feelings.   Psalm 13 is a good example of the feelings of David versus his

Suffering Acknowledged

1869) Many of us know when a friend is suffering, telling them you know how they feel isn’t often helpful. But when the one suffering knows you have an intimate understanding of it, there is comfort. This person gets it. They know how I feel. This identification is not subject-specific; it is not a comparison

New Wine

1868) The old ways of doing things are sometimes hard to shake. Should electronics be solely used in schools? Should new songs be sung in a church? Should missionary work be done as it has for the last century?   There is comfort in the familiar, but some of our old ways Jesus describes as

When I Feel Like a Failure

Failure is like quicksand. It can pull me down. Paul agrees. He said to forget what was behind me, and begin a new day in the confidence that God will give me strength and when I fail, I tell God about it, straighten my shoulders and move on. 1867) There are situations in my life

Quiet Sleep

1866) As a writer, some of the best times for brainstorming ideas are when I’m walking my dog, taking a bath or just before I go to sleep. According to the research I have done on why this is true has led me to understand that in moments such as these, the analytical part of

Complaining is Tiring

1862) There are some days when my young scholars tire me out. There is so much going on during the day, I’m not surprised. There is one thing in particular that can tire me out quickly and that is hearing complaints. When the kids (or even adults) complain, it is a form of criticism. If you

Be Merciful

1861) Being merciful isn’t easy. The definition of the word itself, explains why. To be merciful means to not dish out the punishment or reaction another deserves. Jude 1:22 tells us to be merciful to those who doubt the reality of man’s separation from God and the gift of salvation God gives because of the crucifixion

Sword Fighting

1860) I have never seen a sword fight, especially when one person pierces another, but I have seen a dart get thrown and pierce a playmate’s back. It’s a harsh scene, even in my mind 50 years later. In picturing this, I understand Proverbs 12:18 better. It tells us rash words are like sword thrusts and

A Heavy Burden

1859) As God’s children, we are in full-time ministry. We are called to bear with one another in love, Ephesians 4:2. This word, bear, in the Greek is anechó, which means to hold up or suffer with another. This holding up or suffering is a heavy burden because to do so, it’s almost as if you’re

I Want to Hold Your Hand

1858) There was a time once when I was overwhelmed with the grief of a circumstance that was highly painful.  The person who came to help me said nothing; they just held my hand and didn’t let go. Though I have never been a touchy feely kind of person, this act of compassion helped me calm
