Peace family, I love this time of year! While I don’t enjoy working outside in the heat, I still enjoy gardening when I can, and I love all of the fresh fruits and vegetables that are coming into season! I have a lot of friends who garden, and they are so generous as to bless me […]
Making the Most of Time
Peace family, how would you live if this year was your last? These next six months? This next day? Last night as I washed dishes, I thought about how I could live differently if I knew that I would die before my next birthday. Are there things that you feel God has asked you to […]
When Prayers Don’t Seem To Matter
Peace family, have you ever been through an experience that left you a little spiritually jaded? Do you ever feel like your prayers don’t seem to matter? Maybe you went through a time where you lost your faith altogether, or you didn’t lose it, but your relationship with God felt strained as a result. Several […]
You Are Beautiful!
Peace family, has anyone told you lately how uniquely beautiful you are? My friend Chip Howard (you might know him from Sports Radio 1150, The Zone) loves fishing. Of all my friends who post pictures on Facebook, he is always posting the most impressive fishing pictures, and what a variety! He told me that he recently […]
Checking Boxes For Success
Peace family, are you getting your fulfillment from Christ, or are you believing the messages around us? What is your idea of success? It’s interesting that no matter our walk, we can still get caught up in feeling worthless. I spent this last weekend with a friend who greatly impresses me. In fact, I’m so impressed […]
Five Years From Now
Peace family, where do you see yourself in five years? I recently was having dinner with a friend who asked me that question, and it really put things into perspective. It forced me to look at my life, and look at the ways that I am or am not doing what I hope to do with […]
Crisis of Identity
Peace family, so much unrest in our culture is directly related to our identities. Do you really believe that you can trust God’s perspective about our personal identities and value? I don’t know what all of the factors are that made us so broken and chaotic in our identities and self-value during this generation, but […]
Adventures of Life
Peace family, when was the last time that you went on an adventure? You might not get to travel as much as you wish, but on the other hand, a lot of times, things that look like obstacles can turn out to be adventures! Recently, my dryer broke and it was too wet outside to hang […]
Thankful Like Fred
Peace family, I want to tell you about a kitten that I am fostering named Fred, who is teaching me about trust and thankfulness. I have four different kittens that I am taking care of right now, but Fred is a very special kitten. He’s not particularly striking in his appearance, he’s not especially graceful […]
When Mother’s Day Hurts
Peace family, Mother’s Day brings up a lot of pain sometimes. Chaplain Gary Roe with Hospice Brazos Valley has some words of comfort for those of us who will be hurting on Mother’s Day. Gary says, it’s true that Mother’s Day isn’t fun for everyone. Some people are grieving a mother who recently passed away, […]
Taking A Breather With God
Peace family, do you ever become completely overwhelmed by the details in your life? What do you do when that happens? (This blog is probably going to be a little boring, because it is more like a personal journal entry. Just FYI.) I have a lot of things on my plate right now, and many of […]
A Patch-Work Wonder
Peace family, does your life ever feel disjointed, disconnected, and random? If so, I just want to reassure you that God has a plan for you, and is working the pieces together in order to make something beautiful! As you might already know, I have made a few quilts, and I am working on one very […]
The Beauty of Our Musical Heritage in Christ
Peace family, when was the last time that you found something special from your childhood, particularly, your favorite hymns? What are some of the hymns or spiritual songs that take you back to sweet memories? My parents love (and play) Bluegrass music, so a lot of old Baptist favorites were a part of my childhood, […]
Getting Serious About Enticement
Peace family, how serious are we about the things that entice us away from God? I’ve been reading through Deuteronomy, and was struck in a new way by something that is pretty common knowledge. In Deuteronomy 13, as the Israelites prepare to go into the promised land, Moses instructs them to put to death false prophets […]
The Support of the Church
Peace family, do you know what a difference loving well through the church can make? I was reminded over the weekend of the generosity and love of the church around the world. My grandmother died in North Carolina last week, and I was very touched by the way that her church body loved her and my […]
