Peace family, do you want more joy in your life? I certainly do, and today, I was challenged by the Bible to live more joyfully! I was reading Psalm 135, which begins, “Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord, give praise, O servants of the Lord, who stand in the house of the […]
Still Creek Christian Academy
Still Creek Christian Academy (SCCA) is a private, K-12 Christian school situated on 300 peaceful acres in Bryan, Texas. The Academy is the heartbeat of Still Creek Ranch, and the students are made up of children from the community, as well as residents who live onsite. Many in the Brazos Valley are not aware that […]
Faith & Business with Dr. Jamie Houser, Marr Eye Center
What is your business and what do you do? I work at Marr Eye Center, where we specialize in complete eye care. I’m an optometrist, so I see patients for routine care, contact lenses, treat infections & glaucoma, and all other things dealing with the eyes. The owner and my colleague, Dr. Marr is a […]
Forgiveness
Peace family, what does “forgiveness,” mean to you? Among other things, lately, God has been highlighting opportunities in my life to forgive, and forgiveness is something that I spend a lot of time thinking about. What do we owe to the people who hurt us? What if they continue to hurt us, or deny that they […]
7 Questions with Cherry Moore, Chaplain with Hospice Brazos Valley
1. How did God move you to become a Hospice Chaplain? Before I moved to Bryan/College Station, I had worked as a hospital chaplain and several family members had hospice care. I spent some time meditating on my résumé and life experience. I thought, “This looks like the education and life experience of a hospice […]
Modern Day Miracles: A Heart for God
In early 2014, Jeanne Krumrey was finding herself constantly tired. Many of the things she did on a regular basis, like house and yard work, she wasn’t able to finish without having to stop and rest. These everyday activities just wore her out, and she chalked it up to “getting older.” Often she “felt bad,” […]
Valuing God’s Word
Peace family, what is the Bible really worth to you? I’ve been reconsidering that this week. I have some friends from another country who will be staying with me later this month, and I doubt that they’ve ever seen a Bible in their own language. I’ve been preparing the guest bedroom for them, decorating it with their tastes in mind […]
Restorer of Life
Peace family, what areas of your life need restoration? This is just a short reminder that God is the ultimate restorer! I’ve been reading a devotional book called Where God Finds You, by Anita Higman, and today’s lesson covered the story of Tabitha (also known as Dorcas). Acts 9:36-42 tells us that Tabitha was always doing good […]
Psalm 69:33-34
“The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them” —Psalm 69:33-34 (NIV)
The Great Transition – When Missionaries Come Off the Field
Wes and Stacy Yoakum met each other at Texas A&M University, while attending the same church. After seeing each other every Sunday and bumping into each other on campus a couple times, it wasn’t long after that they started dating. After a mission trip together to Asia, it was only a short matter of time […]
Justice, Mercy, and Moving Into New Neighborhoods
I’ve read hundreds of books in my lifetime. None have impacted the direction of my life like the one I read in May 2009. It was called “Jantsen’s Gift,” and it told the story of children in Ghana, Africa, who worked all day on fishing boats. As soon as I read the book, I was […]
Your Pain Has a Purpose
Peace family, where are you hurting in your life? My guess is that that’s where God is wanting to do some of his most powerful work right now, even if you don’t feel like it. You are learning, and God is using that experience not only to refine you into an even more beautiful soul and draw […]
Romans 12:12
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” —Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Be Still And Know
Peace family, this week, I’ve been reminded to be still and know that God is God. I don’t always do a very good job of slowing down and giving God the opportunity to encourage me through the quietness. The last several weeks not only have been extremely busy, both at work and at home, but […]
We Are Flying Fish
Peace family, one of my favorite animals is the flying fish. In an ocean full of predators, it goes beyond natural convention by leaping up out of the water that all fish inhabit and flying to safety for as far as 200 meters (about 656 feet, which is longer than two football fields.) It takes an […]
