Waiting is the Hardest Part
Waiting is the Hardest Part
I was in the Great Smoky Mountains over the weekend on a new trail with a different landscape and its own kind of challenges. The promise of a spectacular view and an abundance of wild blueberries filled me with anticipation as we made our way to the top. The narrow, rocky parts of the climb almost wore me out sooner than I needed to be worn out. I felt like a kid on a long car ride to the beach.…

Sandcastles
My kids love the sand. When they were younger, they spent hours building sandcastles. They smoothed over the perfect spot for the castle, then gathered wet sand near the edge of the ocean and hauled it back to the construction site. They pressed the sand into molds, turned them over and patted carefully so the tower or wall of the castle came out perfectly formed. They worked diligently to create…

Have you ever been embarrassed for someone? Like when American Idol aired some of the most awful auditions at the beginning of the season. Watching the ones who couldn’t sing, try to sing.
I have the same feeling when I read the story about the mother of James and John asking Jesus for her sons to be placed in seats of honor beside him, one on his left and the other on his right (Matthew…

More and More
I began a ten-week study of the book of Philippians this week. I’m using a resource by Keri Folmar as a guide. Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in joining me in the study. I’d be happy to give you more information.
Philippians is the inspiration of this Monday School and I feel certain will be a source of several more in the coming weeks.
Paul’s prayer for the Philippians in…

Skip Day
I’m about to do something I haven’t done since I was a teenager.
SKIP SCHOOL!
There’s no Monday School today, ya’ll!
I’ve worked hard on several projects recently, had a very busy day at work, a meeting afterward, and was unusually late getting home.
I needed to be outside, so my daughter and I went for a walk in the park and had great conversation, while my husband recovered from his own hard…

To Those Who Are Doing It Anyway
To Those Who Are Doing It Anyway
Monday School is inspired by my Saturday morning run and Paul, formerly known as Saul, and the anonymous writer of Hebrews.
Saturday morning is one of my favorite times of the week. I ran earlier than usual and saw several friendly faces on the trails last Saturday. I saw some not-so-friendly faces too. It’s easy to see who is happy to be there and who is not. I passed several couples, and…

She Stood Up
We’re in the history section of the Old Testament for this week’s Monday School. For more information about Monday School go here.
The story of Hannah is found in 1 Samuel chapter one. Hannah was one of two wives to a man named Elkanah. She was probably the first wife, but because she couldn’t have children, Elkanah married Peninnah.
Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. To make things…
