Seeking

1956) As a child, my siblings, friends and I used to play hide and seek. Some of us were better at hiding than others. As you know, one is the “seeker” and the others would try to choose somewhere to hide. It’s interesting to me that many of us can play this game with God.

Filled With Joy

1955) Have you ever considered that God did not have to give us emotions when he created us? Just like our taste buds, God did not have to give us feelings. This is another example of how we were created in his image because God has feelings, too.   We can see an example of

Angled Thinking

1954) As a language arts teacher, I have attended many workshops on the art of writing. Many things stand out in my memory as being helpful and there is one idea which came to mind when I read Luke 12:34.   The leader of the workshop said it is often interesting to take a known

Why He Came Pt. 4

1953) If you’re like me, you’ve seen many things in this life you wish you had not. Throughout my years of teaching, I have seen horrific things. After witnessing these, it makes me wonder, where is God in all the destruction? Luke 4:18 tells us.   Jesus, at the end of this verse, tells us

Why He Came Pt. 3

1953) As a teacher of language arts, I’ve been allowed to choose novels for my students to read as a class. Some of them I would’ve never read had I not been a teacher and I would’ve missed out on some excellent ones. Tangerine by Edward Bloor is one example.   In this novel, the

Why He Came Pt. 2

1952) Okay. I admit I don’t know much about being in prison and I trust I never will. All I know about being a captive is in my head, most likely from movies or books I have read. Even with the most accurate portrayals, I still don’t know this firsthand, or do I? Let’s explore

Why He Came Pt. 1

1951) As my retirement draws closer, I often reflect on things that have happened within the four walls of my classroom. Many things are funny and some profound. I think today of a student I had many years ago.   I don’t remember the circumstances that brought up his statement, but he said, “I don’t

God’s Viewpoint

1950) When I was in Bible college, there were individuals there many thought would do wonders for God in the future. Some of them did, but it’s interesting to read the alumni news and see the individuals who really did do mighty things for God and they weren’t included in the first group I mentioned.

A Possibility

1949) When I read the Bible, I don’t always think about what’s going on in the “background” behind the verses. For example, when Jesus was baptized, what would some of the people there think when John the Baptist said, “Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world?”   One such

He’s Not Hiding

1948) Part of my daily routine for years has been to read the morning newspaper. In fact, the few days a year it doesn’t come out, and on Sundays when our paper isn’t published, I miss it.   One thing I don’t like about reading the paper is how biased it is to only one
