Reblog: A Day of Remembering
From the archives: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son... There are many days set aside on the U.S. calendar as days of remembering. We remember to give thanks in November.

Good Friday: The atoning sacrifice
For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin. As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they… Continue reading Good Friday: The atoning sacrifice

The man who has his mouth full of arguments in prayer will soon have his mouth full of benedictions in answer to prayer. Dear friend, do you have your mouth full right now? What of?

As a teacher, I can't even imagine the depths of those teachers' devastation and I long for Monday to come… Continue reading Grief and the Hope
Teaching Joys
It's almost here. The end of the semester. I can hardly believe that much time has past... and yet, I can hardly remember the beginning. I walked into my classroom this morning and took stock of the pencils in my pencil cup. It's a good thing I teach elementary students. These pencils are so short… Continue reading Teaching Joys
Spurgeon for a Monday: “Nevertheless”
... When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Psalm 73:21-24 "Nevertheless" -- as if,… Continue reading Spurgeon for a Monday: “Nevertheless”
