Just Like an Ant Farm
April 30th, 201210:34 AM ET"Aren't ant farms cool, Brad?" Kaeden remarked, watching the line of ants take their food through a tunnel. "You can watch every move they make!" "Yeah, they're fun to watch," his older brother agreed as he picked up a ball. "Want to toss a few balls? We haven't done that since I left for Bible college." "Sure!" Kaeden eagerly joined his brother.... -
Power Blackout
April 27th, 201208:21 AM ETChad sighed as he sat down at the kitchen table and began his homework. This sure has been a lousy day, he thought. Nothing went right.

"It must be a power blackout," said Dad, coming up from the basement where he had been... -
The Pink T-Shirt
April 26th, 201210:13 AM ET"Hi, Mom," said Tabitha, walking into the laundry room where her mother was sorting clothes. "I have a question."

Poisoned Arrows
April 25th, 201209:02 AM ET"I don't know why Dan had to invite Josh Blackwell to Bible Club at our house tomorrow," grumbled Tony as he hung up the phone. "I think Josh has issues with his mind.

Hidden Inside
April 24th, 201208:57 AM ET"Hi, Mom. What's for supper?" asked Traci as she came into the kitchen. Mom grinned. Traci asked the same question every day when she got home from school. "I'm so-o-o hungry when I get off the bus," added Traci. She went to the stove, lifted a lid off a pan, and peered inside. "Is this what I think it is? Are we having tacos?" At Mom's nod, Traci ... -
Danger: Mosquitoes!

"If a big lion came at me, I'... -
Peacemakers
April 20th, 201210:15 AM ET"Guess what!" said Heidi as she took her Bible from the shelf and sat beside Great-grandpa Hohenberger. "For art class today, we had to draw one of our favorite things.

The Pure in Heart
April 19th, 201208:51 AM ET"Grandpa, this beatitude says the pure in heart will see God. What does it mean to be pure in heart?" asked Heidi. Great-grandpa Hohenberger looked thoughtful.

The Merciful
April 18th, 201209:59 AM ET"Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy,'" read Heidi as she studied a new verse. "Grandpa, what is mercy?" she asked.

"Let's see. Mercy me... -
Hunger and Thirst
April 17th, 201209:40 AM ET"Guess what, Grandpa? My verse today is about hungering and thirsting for righteousness, and I think I understand it already," announced Heidi one day. "I think it means I should want to know all about God and what pleases Him and that I should want to become more like Him." "But can you tell us a story about it anyway?" George asked. Great-grand... -
The Meek
April 16th, 201209:11 AM ET"Grandpa, I learned another beatitude," said Heidi when Great-grandpa Hohenberger came over one day. "It's Blessed are the meek.'" George spoke up from across the room, "Everyone at school calls one of the teachers Meek Mr. Milton.' He's a little man with a high, whiny voice. He acts like a sissy, Grandpa! Why would Jesus give special blessings to... -
No Weed Seed
April 13th, 201210:25 AM ET"I hope all the seeds we planted will come up," said Diego as he looked at the area where he and his grandfather had just finished putting in rows of peas, carrots, and other vegetables.

Erased
April 12th, 201208:57 AM ETNathan tossed and turned, and he knew it was the lie he had told that kept pricking his conscience and was keeping him awake. He punched the pillow, snuggled deeper under the covers, and squeezed his eyes tightly shut. But he could not turn off the little voice in his head. Tell your mother you're sorry. Tell the truth . . . tell the truth . . . te... -
Company's Coming
April 11th, 201208:37 AM ET"Oh, no!" cried Tonya when she heard they would be having house guests. "Do the Wilsons have to stay here? All we ever do is have people stay with us.

"We... -
The Ketchup Bottle
April 10th, 201210:30 AM ET"I still don't see why we had to move," Amy complained to her brother Steve as they walked home from school. "Well, it's not so bad here," Steve replied.

Don't Forget
April 09th, 201210:05 AM ET"Goodbye, Mrs. Nelson." Brad hopped out of the van. "Call me later, Eric." "Okay," Eric replied as he moved into the front seat beside his mother.

As th... -
A Good Habit
April 06th, 201210:24 AM ET"Mom," said Emma one day, "I . . ." She hesitated. "In church a couple weeks ago, I made up my mind to have a quiet time with God every day," Emma confided to her mother.

Ten Feet Tall
April 05th, 201210:18 AM ET"Mom, why am I so little?" asked Todd. He put down his pencil and scowled in disgust at his small hands. "Todd, you're only ten," Mom replied. "You still have a lot of growing to do." "I know, Mom, but while I grow, all my friends will grow, too. They'll always be bigger than I am!" Todd grumbled. "Not necessarily," said Mom, "but your size isn'... -
A Smelly Judgment
April 04th, 201209:01 AM ET"Dad, you won't believe what happened at school!" exclaimed Letha. She ran ahead of her brother and plopped her school bag onto the kitchen table.

"Me, too... -
A Hurting Friend
