HomeSchooling Column: Finding the Fun in February 

by Brenda B. Covert

Ideas for activities often come from holidays. February gives us Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day. Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday are in the same week as well. Even if you don’t observe those last two dates, you can study the history for all of them.

 
by Paula Mowery
Where do I start in getting real? That was the question I asked myself. Then, when I built up my courage, I asked God. Do not ask God if you do not truly want an answer. There are no rhetorical questions with God.
by Rebecca Dowden
God is the great physician, and His words are healing and freeing to our wounded hearts. As a licensed psychotherapist and a Christian, Rebecca Dowden’s new column will bring the message of God’s truths for our times of pain and emotional distress.

by Kenneth Lewis

What is love?  For some it’s score zero in tennis, for others it’s an attraction based on sexual desire…

 

by L. Joy Douglas

What do I write this time? The question haunts me as I anxiously take note of this month’s fast approaching deadline. The deeper I look for inspiration, the greater my anxiety grows as my mind reaches out to gather…nothing.

Lord, I cry. Give me the words! What would You have me say? Still, there is silence, and a blank page. My mind whirls with the cares of facing a new year.

by Cindy Buchanan

We all know, from reading about God's creation of the world, that on the seventh day, He rested. Many devotionals talk about the importance of rest, but mostly in terms of physical rest. Resting your body, or resting your body and your mind, so that you may be refreshed.

by David Taylor
One of the requests I get daily is from people who just don't "feel" God. Or, they were once "on fire" for the Lord and just don't "feel" Him like they once did. Don't make the mistake of judging your relationship with the Lord or your service to God, based on how you feel.

 

Words Spoken in Secret: Better Not Bitter

by Candace Simar

He has a plan for you as well. Though circumstances in your life may feel all wrong, know that God has a better ending for you than you could ever dream. He asks only that you come closer to Him.             

The Space in Between

by Sheila Jackson

There is a time in which everything grows.A rose just doesn’t bud it has a process in which to begin. A seed doesn’t instantly grow a leaf which is green; it matures in "the space in between." The space in between is a special phase that is personal where man cannot invade.

 



Leigh's Spiritual Garden:Trust in God's Word
 

by Leigh Moran

Mountains may depart and yes, the hills may disappear as they have in Haiti. Devastation tremendously affected humanity in this tiny country. I have seen where some have written about some religious leaders saying this is God’s punishment. I say, punishment for what, being poor?

The Media’s Influence on Teenagers

The media is a key contributor to the rising number of teenagers who are dissatisfied with their bodies. Many of the "ideal" female figures, as portrayed in the media and by the fashion and entertainment industries, have become thinner, often to the point of emaciation.

I'm God's Girl. Why Can't I Feel It?

by Kimberly Davidson

We are all going through stressful and depressing times. Some more than others.Depression occurs when we experience a stressful life changing event, or when we endure feelings of tenseness, sadness, or overwhelming anger, even a death.

WHAT IF Jesus Applied for American Citizenship?

 by Robert Randle

If the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth were to have lived in modern times, it would have been quite interesting to see Him fill out documentation and be interviewed by the INS officials to become an American citizen.

 

To Love Like Christ

by Jorden Henbane

Love itself is unconditional until filtered by one's humanity. An internal play of emotions prevents love from persisting throughout all circumstances. Pride, fear, hatred, sorrow, and judgement, prevent love from persisting every moment.

There is Still Time for God and Prayer in the Day!

by Lloyd Winstead

The old homeless man sat on the wall at the beach by the sea. Good morning sir he said as I walked by,  toward the picnic table located under a large shade tree. His home an old two door red Nissan was parked next to me.
