Peace family, have you ever thought of Christmas cards as an opportunity to show love, reach out, and restore peace? I know Christmas cards are a dying art, but when I was a child, one of my favorite things each year was the way that my mom would take all of the Christmas cards that […]

Trying Not to Worry
Peace family, do you ever find yourself anxious? For some reason, the last several days, I have been feeling nervous or anxious, but as far as I know, there isn’t anything specific that I am actively worrying about. I have had several stressful dreams, and have woken up almost every hour for several hours in […]

If You Live in A Hard Country
Peace family, one of the amazing things about the internet is that we can communicate with people all across the world. However, sometimes we can still feel alone in our faith. A friend of mine was in a country last week, where it is not safe to talk about Jesus, and almost impossible to find […]
A Taco Testimony
Peace family, do you ever feel completely overwhelmed, and then something special happens that completely transforms your day? Today has been one of those days! I was feeling really discouraged this morning. I have a lot of things on my plate right now, and a lot of work that I have to do today, plus […]
The Joy of Finishing
Peace family, when was the last time you’ve worked on a long-standing project that was well worth it? I haven’t been able to talk about it on this blog or on the air, because it’s been a surprise, but for more than a year, I’ve been working on a quilt for a friend […]
Feeling Isolated
Peace family, do you ever feel isolated? Are you feeling alone right now? I think we all feel isolated sometimes. We start to wonder why we bother sharing our hearts or troubles because no one seems to care. We start to feel like we don’t matter to anyone. We grow tired and bitter about super […]
Running Ahead of God
Peace family, do you ever find yourself running ahead of God? My cats recently reminded me how important it is to watch out for this! Over the weekend, my cats had informed me that they were hungry, and I was carrying one, but the other two scrambled and ran ahead to their food dish. Even […]
Healing Is Worth The Pain
Peace family, I’ve been fostering some teacup chihuahuas, and it has been a great reminder that working towards healing is worth it, even though it’s hard. These dogs came from a hoarding situation (the house had a total of 49 dogs, mainly chihuahuas) and they have several issues because of it. They are very cute […]
Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement
Peace Family, when was the last time that you had the chance to do an inventory of your life and heart? From sunset tonight through sunset tomorrow, Jewish people everywhere will observe Yom Kippur, a day of fasting and a time to examine the year gone by. Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement,” and it’s […]
Small Joys
Peace family, I want to share some small joys in my life! Where are you finding delight these days? Lately, I’ve been finishing up a very large quilting project. I’ve had a lot of fun this year, experimenting with an instant pot, and also with a bread machine. Also, it’s taken work, but I’ve gotten […]
Taking Time For Encouragement
Peace family, when was the last time that you set aside time to be intentionally encouraged in Christ? Sometimes, feeling lonely can be a wake up call to spend time with God. Feeling blue can be a chance to talk to him about what we’re going through. Feeling cross can be an opportunity to examine […]
Life After Harvey
Peace family, our area has survived Harvey, but what now? Sometimes, the aftermath of a crisis can be even harder to sort out than surviving the crisis itself. We need to remember that a lot of people are stressed and grieving, and they might feel and act weirdly and unpredictably for a while. That’s okay. […]
