More Than A Feeling

 The classic rock song "More Than A Feeling" by Boston  is a song that describes how the right song can turn a person's feelings from dreary to bright and sunny.  Feelings are powerful forces in our lives, yet they can change at a moment's notice.  One of the disciplines every person must develop is evaluating and sifting through his feelings. Every person has at least one moment in his life where his emotions scream at him to act immediately.  The challenge is that a decision made in the heat of the moment is often a poor decision.  Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.  Who can understand it?"  One of the truths that this passage coveys is that a person's heart, his emotions, can lie to him.  If a person continually makes emotional decisions, chances are he will make some poor choices.

Embrace Your Inner Toddler

  Perhaps there are no two letters that change the relationship between parent and child more than those that form the word,  NO .  Up until a toddler learns this word, he or she appears to be such an angel.  Then, one day, that dreaded word touches his lips and the battle of wills between parent and child begins.  Yet, somewhere during our transition from childhood to adulthood we lose our ability to say, "NO."  We would all do well to embrace our inner toddler and utilize this word more.   This year has been a challenge for many, myself included.  Faced with the challenge of working from home while also attempting to maintain some semblance of a "normal" home life, I found that often the lines between family, work, and self-care were regularly blurred.  My responsibilities to my job, to my wife, to my son, and to myself all made demands upon my time and I felt myself being pulled in all directions.  My solution was simple: multi...

Thank God for the Fleas

 In her book The Hiding Place , Corrie Ten Boom tells the story of learning to give thanks in the most challenging of circumstances.  While prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII, Corrie and her sister, Betsie, found comfort in studying the Bible.  Upon reading Paul's command to, "Give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thess. 5:18), the two women wondered what they had to be thankful for in the midst of the horrors of the Holocaust.  To make matter worse, the two sisters had been moved into a barracks ridden with fleas.  Surely this pit of despair was devoid of anything for which to give thanks.  As Corrie and Betsie reflected on Paul's words, they began to realize that the fleas in their barracks had kept the Nazi soldiers away, allowing the women to study the Bible freely.  This realization led the two sisters to thank God for the fleas.  The two women discovered that, even in the darkness of WWII, there were still things to be thankfu...
