Thoughts On Mardi Gras

by

Peace family, whether you call today “Fat Tuesday,” “Mardi Gras,” “Pancake Tuesday,” or “Shrove Tuesday,” it’s a special day, and we don’t usually put as much thought into it as we could. While Mardi Gras has become famous as a day of reveling, when we look back at its roots, it’s something a lot more important and […]

Recipe: Rainbow Turkey Soup

by

Peace family, do you ever get into a rut of cooking the same things in the same way, over and over? I’m trying to save money right now (I splashed out on an expensive purchase- a historical cookbook, actually!), and I’m trying to get better at cooking the food that is already at my house. […]

Where Do You Get Your Validation?

by

Peace family, where do you get your validation? I was listening to a radio program the other day, that talked about how important it is for parents, specifically fathers, to validate their children by speaking identity and value over them. It left me thinking a lot about relationships and validation. If we don’t really receive […]

Growing Closer to God, Daily

by

Peace family, what’s the latest thing that has really helped you to grow in your walk with God? A friend and I have been reading the MacArthur Daily Bible, and it has been such a blessing! So far this year, I’ve really been touched in a new way by God’s compassion throughout the Old Testament, His […]

God is At Work!

by

Peace family, I just want to encourage you today that God is doing things, even things that you don’t perceive. I love this time of year, because bulb plants that I’ve forgotten about spring up and bloom, much to my delight, and sometimes to my surprise. It reminds me of God, the way that he […]

Grace For Parenting Needs

by

Peace family, when it comes to parenting, do you ever feel uninformed, embarrassed, or frustrated? So many times, we can feel unskilled in an area, but we are afraid to reach out for help or learn more about ways to do things, especially if we feel like we should already know what we are doing. […]

Asking God Hard Questions

by

Peace family, have you taken time lately to ask God some hard questions? I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I am easily overwhelmed by current events. I’m troubled by unrest, dissension and disunity. I’m troubled by the rampant rebellion from God and hurtful choices in our country and in the world. I’m really troubled by sin […]

“Tough Love” For Yourself

by

Peace family, we talk about “tough love” from time to time, but not usually for ourselves. However, I want to challenge you to give yourself a little tough love, if that’s what you need! You might find some break through in your situation. My roommate was recently talking to me about some things that she […]

Grieving through Valentine’s Day, and Loss of a Child

by

Peace family, with February as “The Month of Love,” loss can be especially hard. If you’ve recently lost a loved one, Hospice Brazos Valley chaplain Gary Roe has some encouragement for you. When you’ve lost one of those close relationships, Valentine’s Day becomes one of those triggers for what we call, “grief bursts.” You kind […]

Rock Solid Men’s Event Coming Feb 11!

by

Peace family, there’s a special event to encourage men coming up, and now is the time to register! Patrick Kimes with Rock Solid Men’s Event says you might ask yourself, “What is a rock solid man?” It’s a man who is able to stand strong in the face of adversity, stands strong in his family, […]

Where Your Encouragement Comes From

by

Peace family, where does your encouragement come from? These are some pretty stressful times, especially in the political and social aspects of the world all around us, but sometimes it can be easy to find encouragement in places that were never meant to fill that need. What are your favorite ways to find comfort and […]

Our Merciful God

by

Peace family, something I have been marveling over this week, is God’s amazing mercy, despite his right to completely condemn us as the righteous and perfect judge that He is. A lot of times, people like to compare Jesus to God the Father, and say that God in the Old Testament is much less merciful than […]

Fighting for Forgiveness

by

Peace family, do you have people in your life who make you feel kicked while you are down? Do you have people who hurt you, and never seem to notice it, or if they do notice, they don’t care? How can we forgive people like that? I want to forgive people like that this year. […]

Recipe: Easy Popcorn

by

Peace family, there’s nothing quite like the tender crunch of hot popcorn, seasoned just to your liking, as you watch a movie! How about a way to make popcorn that’s easier than cooking it in a pot, and healthier than prepackaged popcorn? I was watching a TV show with a friend last night, and caused a lot […]
