Teaching: this present sphere
It's that time of year -- school has begun again. Teaching, like most jobs, comes with many changing aspects that keep teachers hustling to keep up (Common Core, changes in classes, changes in administration, changes in duties...) and other aspects that never seem to change, though we wish they would. Caught between wondering where the… Continue reading Teaching: this present sphere
Spurgeon on Prayer
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?

Mr. Spurgeon for a Monday

If you are not firm in faith, you will… Continue reading Firm in Faith

Anyway, this reading was such a blessing to me that I wanted to pass it along. Morning, May 9 "Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings." -- Ephesians 1:3… Continue reading Charles Spurgeon: All Spiritual Blessings
Valentine’s Day 2011 — Charles Spurgeon on the Father’s love
Wonderful thoughts for Valentine's Day, as penned by Charles Spurgeon (Morning, February 13): "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God." -- 1 John… Continue reading Valentine’s Day 2011 — Charles Spurgeon on the Father’s love
