The God of the Impossible

2540) When I was a child, I loved to hear Bible stories. As I listened, the images in my head illustrated my version of events. One such event is the crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 14. As the Israelites exited Egypt, I could see the mobs of people, the animals loaded down, and

The Most Powerful

2538) When I taught Jr. High kids, we read a book that described the life of a teen who was captured by Stalin’s NKVD and eventually was held in a camp in Siberia. Because I wanted the kids to consider the strong message of the story, before we read any of it, I held an

Three Things

2521) I have noticed in my writing that I often use three points, examples or arguments about multiple things. I like this because three give validity for whatever point I’m making. It’s not just two examples or points, it’s three, showing credibility. In light of this, it’s interesting that God, too, uses three things in

Holy

2500) When I was in high school, if a couple were dating, the girl would often wear the boy’s class ring on her finger. This was a statement that she “belonged” to another. For many girls, it felt so good to be wanted and “belonging” to someone else. This was a public statement. In 1

The Lions in my Life

2497) I have never been to a circus, though I have seen enough of them on television to picture what happens in a show. One of the things I think I would have been scared to see as a child is a lion in the same cage as a person, and the lion is riled

Where is the Love

2494) It’s always interesting to me to observe some of my young scholars fall in love. They usually swing all the way toward bliss, feeling as if they’re walking on air, and then, almost as quickly, swing the opposite way in their feelings. As adults, we learn, hopefully, that yes, love carries strong feelings, but

Receivers

2481) Not too long ago, I read something that included this line: you can’t give out what you haven’t received. Interesting idea, and because I love digging deeper into things, I thought, yeah, I can’t give you my car keys if I don’t have them. 2 Thessalonians 3:13 tells us to not grow weary in

Bless You

2447) I can remember reading verses as a child such as Psalm 134:2, which reads, lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord. (ESV) The term bless the Lord was just something I read without giving it much thought because I didn’t understand it. I know what it means when someone

A Better Solution

2349) I learn a lot from my young scholars. Some lessons come as I observe their words and actions. One such observation is when one of them is sharpening a pencil. They’ll grind it and grind it and grind it and then, almost always on cue, they’ll say, This pencil won’t sharpen. At this point,

Knives

2348) For many years now, I have been prone to drop things. I don’t know if there’s a medical problem, but it’s a reality. I have found that if I’m not careful to acknowledge this when I’m holding things that can cause great damage or be damaged if I drop them, it can lead to
