Peace Family, your journey has a purpose, even if you can’t see it. I’m going to branch out onto a nerdy limb here (see what I did there?) and refer to one of my favorite works, The Lord of The Rings. Do you ever feel like you have a heavy burden strapped around your neck […]

Peace family, you will probably never forget where you were thirteen years ago, when you heard that the World Trade Center and Pentagon had been attacked by terrorists. Where were you? How did you feel? Do you know who else will never forget where he was, or how you felt? God. Take comfort in the fact that […]

Peace family, is there someone who might need encouragement from you today? Who might need to hear the words said that you love them? Who might need a hug? A dear friend of mine has been in the hospital (the picture above was taken just before she crushed me in a game of Candyland, for the […]

Peace Family, who all is on your support team? This morning, Brian was looking at a website he uses for tracking his exercise and eating habits, and we got to talking about how sometimes our friends can bring us down. In the case of getting healthier, sometimes they sabotage our healthier choices through ignorance, different […]

Peace Family, what are you thankful for? Recently, I was reminded to count my blessings! One of my mentors encouraged me to get a journal and write specifically about the things I am thankful for every day. The funny thing about it is, once you begin to cultivate an atmosphere of gratitude in your heart, […]

Peace family, when was the last time that you tried something new? I’ve found a lot of joy lately with some new pursuits! This is going to sound really silly, but honestly, I’ve been reading about football in order to better understand this thing that means so much to so many people, especially here in […]

Peace family, what do you do when you are in a rut? When you are feeling uninspired, how do you get back into action? I have been having some major writer’s block, both with this blog and also with a novel I am trying to write, and it’s made me want to think back to other more […]

Peace family, are you ready to create a family legacy of God’s love? Today I read an article called, “You Don’t Have To Be Your Dad: How to Become Your Family’s Transitional Character,” but it can apply to women, too. I liked it so much, that I wanted to share it here. I can’t vouch for […]

Peace family, why is it so easy to believe lies sometimes? Like anyone, I have some areas in my life that need healing, and I am finding a lot of growth through participating in a program called Celebrate Recovery. One of the program’s principles states, “Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, […]

Peace family, do you have a heart for missions, but for whatever reason, it looks like God just wants you to stay here? If so, I want to encourage you today. Raising a family and working a normal job might not seem as glamorous or as noble as living in a hut in Africa and […]

Peace family, what are you thankful for? Today, I am thankful for the rain, for good friends, for my family, for Peace 107, for the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream I’m eating out of the office freezer… the possibilities are endless! A friend recently challenged me by asking, “What would you have tomorrow, if you woke […]

Peace family, Gary Roe is a local counselor, pastor, and abuse survivor, and I really enjoy reading his blog. This week’s entry is about the illusion of control, and I felt like it was really powerful! You can read it by clicking HERE. Sometimes it can be so hard to sort out what is in […]
