A Supermodel

2588) I’m not sure when the term, supermodel first became a regular description of certain women, someone who is about 1 in 25,500 females. We spend a lot of time focusing on our appearance. Regular grooming, our diets, clothing, and the status of what things we attain are all things that focus outwardly. Yet, 1

Unpopular

2583) There have been times in my life when I have sought popularity. Jr. high, for example. It’s also true that I have occasionally wished for popularity as a writer. After all, this often generates sales. There have also been times when I’ve sought unpopularity from certain groups out of rebellion. I see this on

Going for a Walk

2582) Unless it’s the dead of winter, I walk regularly with my little dog. Most of the time it’s just us, but occasionally I’ll walk with a friend. I don’t really mind walking with a friend from time to time because it’s an excellent opportunity to have pleasant conversations, but sometimes it’s a bit of

Now What?

2571) I watched a video the other day about a man whose imprisonment lasted 38 years for a murder he did not commit. The authorities did some DNA testing and found out he was not guilty. Of course, the man was glad to get out of prison, but he faced some difficulties. What do I

The Bible and Inertia

2548) I was reading an article recently that focused on inertia. I found it interesting because I can plainly see its fingerprint all around me, including in the mirror. Inertia basically means things love to keep doing what they are doing. Patterns form quickly, and once they establish themselves, changing course will be a fight,

I Know You

2546) Whenever I travel, while waiting in or walking through an airport I think I see people I know. It’s almost as if my mind sees and tries to make a connection. Often this connection isn’t in the form I expect. The connection I see is something about the way a person stands, the shape

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
