Where Growth and Grace Meet
When the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him,” certainly He knew the helper He was to create would be vastly different than her husband. I mean, at least that is the thought which occurred to me today as I surveyed the life…

The GRID of the Gospel
What joyful challenge and comfort it is when the chapters and verses of the good news and message of Jesus Christ (the Gospel) run parallel and perpendicular to one another, pointing the way which I should go – the most divinely perfect map ever to be created.

Tantrums and Grace
Have you ever thrown a fit when talking to the Lord? I mean, mine was more like a tantrum, but who’s comparing, right?! Anyway, the few brief moments and months leading up to my toddler outburst had been hard – and often hurtful. My emotions were being driven by my feelings and my feelings by…

Kindergarten Science
For this teacher, Kindergarten Science is often a beautiful lesson in life. Just this week, we discussed how sometimes, with temperature variations, substances can undergo reversible changes (such as with water being frozen and then thawed.) But that also, with many other substances, modifications happen which can never be reversed- as with these little pumpkins.…
