The nights are challenging for me. I’m a very light sleeper and borderline insomniac. I also struggle with nighttime anxiety. Despite taking medication and staying consistent with exercise, some nights I find myself lying awake, unable to sleep—especially if one of my dogs wakes me up. Then, depending on where my mind takes me, IContinue reading “In the Night”

Remember the Right Thing
Sometimes, we draw confidence from memories of past achievements and the challenges we’ve conquered. Reflecting on previous victories reminds us of our resilience and the strength of the systems that support us, including our government, supervisors, friends, or other sources of strength. David reminds us that when we seek strength and confidence, the ultimate sourceContinue reading “Remember the Right Thing”
Remember to Forget
Throughout Psalm 25, David pleads to God for deliverance and forgiveness. In the middle of the Psalm are two verses about remembering and forgetting. The entire section reads: Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways according to yourContinue reading “Remember to Forget”
Your Mercy
David frequently asks God to remember aspects of His personality. Generally, those requests come from David during hard circumstances. David’s requests do not reflect a lack of confidence in God or suggest any doubt that God’s nature has changed. Instead, they represent David’s plea for God to demonstrate that specific trait. In Psalm 25, DavidContinue reading “Your Mercy”

The more time outside the better. One of the things we were most looking forward to was the sunsets and the nightContinue reading “His Wonders”

“Only the Good Die Young” is an old proverb that carries with it a variety of meanings. One of those meanings is that when young people die they’ve not been jaded by life nor have they lived long enough to have cumulated regrets hence only the good die young. Solomon cautions the young about livingContinue reading “In Your Youth”
Remember Long Ago
One of the things we rely on with our memory is for it to remember the days long ago. We like to reminisce and remember the good days. We remember loved ones who are no longer with us. We remember our childhood and all its glory. It is why diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia areContinue reading “Remember Long Ago”
Foundation of Remembering
Remembering can be a catch-22. Sometimes, remembering brings back good memories; sometimes it brings back bad memories. Now, we need both types of memories – good memories and bad/uncomfortable memories. But, calling back the right ones at the right time can be tricky. Sometimes, we remember the wrong things or forget to recall the necessaryContinue reading “Foundation of Remembering”
