Beauty is Only Skin-deep?

744) Several weeks ago, I had a conversation with a friend and lamented that when I was in my 20s, I so wished my body was different than it was. (I had a list of things I would change.) I continued my conversation saying, I’d give anything to have the body I had then. My

Who Wants That Job?

743) As a teacher, I can think of one job that I would never want to do, and that is to be a school bus driver. For any of you who have taken on this daunting job, God bless you for it! I tell my students that I wouldn’t care if the job paid a

You Are Not Alone

742) There is something worse than despair and that is being alone in your despair. You sit by yourself, trying to keep your head above the churning waters of this life, and you see no one around to help. This feeling is horrible and frightening. If you have been in these waters, you know what

Integrity Matters

739) I once read that the definition of integrity is when a person does the right thing even though they know no one is looking. The truth of the matter is, if there is an omniscient God, He already knows everything we think and do. David recognizes the value of integrity and considered it a

735) Fairly often, when I come home and share with my husband about the little things that happen during the day, I say, “I know this is a small thing but…” In considering why I do this; I seem to state that I know there are more important things to talk about. I even frequently

Aging, Another Perspective

632) With each passing day, we grow older. Our bodies take one more step toward the grave and though we can work hard at staying fit, we cannot stop the aging process. In a sense, the opposite is true of us spiritually. With the passing of each day, we grow more like Christ – at

What Growing Up Means

630) In our society, today, it’s not unusual for kids to continue living with their parent(s) into their 20’s or even 30’s. There are many reasons for this but I wonder if some may stay because being a “child” can be easier than being an adult. 1 Corinthians 13:11 addresses this issue in the spiritual

Love is a Verb

629) Some evenings, when my husband and I are sitting together reading our separate books, I marvel at how our relationship has changed through 30-plus years of marriage. In the beginning, love was all-encompassing. It was a time of extreme highs (and sometimes, extreme lows). The love we share now manifests itself in gentler ways.

Unconditional Forgiveness

605) There have been times in my life when someone asks my forgiveness (or vice-versa) but there is this underlying feeling that there is forgiveness but it is not forgotten. Perhaps for this life, it may be prudent but God does not forgive this way. When we ask Him to forgive something, He does and
