New wave of
higher education
Back-to-school
is looming in the air for most people right now. From buying up
crayons and pencils for the youngsters to packing up that
college-bound youngster of yours for the first time. And when a lot
of us take time to think about the hustle and bustle of preparing
for school this time of year, those are the situations we normally
think of first.

Reaching New
Heights
So, what’s the point? Many of us are trying to
do too much on our own strength and ability. We have failed to join
ourselves with God and allow Him to take us higher than we could
ever go on our own.

Don’t
Preach to Me!
A
preacher once asked comedian and actor George Burns for advice;
“You’re so good with audiences, Mr. Burns, and you hold their
attention so well. Do you have any advice for a preacher?” He
answered, “My advice is to have a good beginning, and good ending,
and then keep them as close together as you can.”

Praise God
For What He Does
Ephesians 5:19-20 says we are to “speak
to one another with songs, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make
melody in your hearts to the Lord, always giving things to God the
father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We
praise God for His works.

Fire
There’s
something about fire that mesmerizes us, attracts us, draws us in.
Its raw power and energy has amazing potential to be used for
good—to heat our homes, to give us light, to cook our food, create
spaces where we tell stories and connect with each other—and also to
destroy as it consumes whatever we throw into it. It’s untamed, we
can’t understand it, and it carries the potential to break out into
something so totally beyond us. It’s a thing of awe, a thing of
terror, a thing of beauty and a thing that has often inspired
worship.

Understanding where our uniqueness is from
We desire old, vintage, nostalgic
things’ they’re things we want. I love the look of old movie
theaters, the smell of old books, the glimmer of classic cars, the
design of old posters and the simplicity of a boy shooting his eye
out in A Christmas Story.

Cleaning House
I
talked with a friend this week about an opportunity she had to help
a guy clean his house. It may not sound that monumental, except his
house hadn’t been cleaned for SEVEN years. Something had happened,
and his life as he had known it ended. Maybe something died, or
shut down, but stuff started to pile up—garbage, dishes, papers,
clothes—until it felt overwhelming. His friends didn’t know how bad
it had gotten, he hadn’t shown them, or maybe they just never
stopped by. My friend was the first in a long time. They spent six
hours cleaning, just so they could clear a path so the appraiser
could walk through the house. It’s not finished, and there’s a
whole lot more to do, but it’s a start.

Do You Really Want To Know The Truth?
I
had spoken at a family conference
and explained and illustrated Bible truths about how a
parent can “turn around” a rebellious teen.
-- A man came up to me and
said, “How did you discover such amazing truths?” I replied,
“The Bible is the mind of man’s Creator revealed to man. In
the Bible God gave to man every key truth man would need to
live human life. Our difficulty is in receiving and
believing ALL of those truths. But each truth we believe
opens up another set of truths. And each one of those opens
up another set, etc. etc.”
