ODB: With Us and in Us

My son had just started nursery school. The first day he cried and declared, “I don’t like school.” My husband and I talked to him about it. “We may not be physically there, but we are praying for you. Besides, Jesus is with you always.”“But I can’t see Him!” he reasoned. My husband hugged him and said, “He lives in you. And He won’t leav

ODJ: staying in step with God

The other day our 8 year old son asked why we no longer put him in the time-out corner. I said it was because that form of discipline no longer worked well. As the twins have got older, we’ve had to find new ways to reward and discipline them. Whatever worked when they were 4 years old is no longer effective.God continued to work with the people of Israel by giving Moses specific instruction

ODJ: small spark

In 2004 a man went over a dry, brown patch of grass while mowing his lawn. A blade on the mower struck a rock and created a spark, which resulted in a fire that soon raged out of control. The resulting catastrophe, known as the Bear Fire, blackened 10,484 acres of land and destroyed more than 80 homes.

ODJ: the Spirit's power

The effects of an ice storm led to the loss of electricity to my house one morning. Late that night, as we returned home from showering in a nearby leisure centre, we pulled into our street and saw our lights were back on. Yes! We hadn’t realised how dependent we were on electric power until we lost it, and we resolved not to take it for granted again.
The episode reminded me of th

ODB: A Faithful Helper

As a young boy, my father had to deliver slop to hungry pigs on the farm where he grew up. He hated this job because the hogs would knock him over when he entered their pen. This task might have been impossible except for a faithful helper who accompanied my dad—a German shepherd named Sugarbear. She would maneuver herself between my father and the pigs and hold them back until my dad finished h

ODB: Life-Giving Rain

During the August heat of 1891, R. G. Dyrenforth arrived in Midland, Texas, determined to blast rain from the sky. Known as a “concussionist,” he and his team launched and detonated huge balloons filled with explosive gases, fired cannons, and exploded piles of dynamite on the ground—shaking both earth and sky. Some believed he made it rain a little, but most said all he caused was noise. T
