Uplifting & Encouraging

Thoughts from the Jury Box

by

Peace family, have you ever served on a jury? I ended up serving on one throughout this week for a criminal case, and I wanted to encourage you that you really are doing an important service. We all know that everyone is supposed to hate jury duty, but I actually really enjoyed it both times that […]

40 Days For Life Is Here!

by

40 Days for Life begins today, September 28, and ends November 6, and now is the time to join in! Shawn Carney says for the first time ever, the 40 Days For Life program is being implemented in all fifty states at the same time, including events in 367 cities. Carney says it all started in […]

God is still God

by

Peace family, today, I just wanted to remind you that God is still God, and God is moving, even right now. We have had so much violence this year, but that does not mean that God is any less powerful. We must continue to have compassion and mercy, to hold onto truth, and not give […]

Be Kind Even When Criticized

by

I love to acknowledge co-workers birthdays. I got it from my mom, as she does the same at her job too. She always makes a big deal out of birthdays, even now that us kids are grown. I think there is enough sorrow and disappointment in life; enough meanness and pettiness. Be kind and graciously […]

New Victories

by

Peace family, what’s the latest new thing you’ve learned? Is there anything you want to learn or try today, but feel afraid? Several years ago, my Dad gave me a lawn mower and a weed eater, and although I’ve successfully mown my lawn for a few years, I’ve never been able to figure out how […]

Made to Walk

by

Peace family, do you struggle with shame? Do you really believe that your brokenness, your failures, your damage and your disappointments can all be redeemed by God, and bring glory to him? They can, as you turn them over to him. This morning, I was reading Acts 3:1-10, in which Peter and John heal a lame […]

Finishing What We Start

by

Peace family, do you struggle to complete personal projects as much as I do? I do ok when it’s a work project, or something that someone else is depending on me for, but I have such a hard time making myself do the things that I myself want to do! However, right now I have two […]

Faithful in the Little

by

Peace family, how can we be faithful in the little? It can be so tempting at times to praise certain tasks as successful, important, or really godly, but feel inferior in our small tasks, and even assume that certain things are unimportant. It can even be tempting to shirk our duty in the things that seem […]

Celebration in Any Season

by

Peace Family, do you just need a little something extra to celebrate today? It might not look or feel like fall outside, but autumn is definitely on the way! School and college are back in season, the first Aggie football game is only a few days away, and we have entered into that time when […]

You’re Going to Make It!

by

Peace family, are you feeling ground down from the week? For whatever reason, a lot of my friends have had grueling weeks, and I have, too! From babies who refused to sleep for an entire night, to a flurry of activities, to tension at home, to school work, job work, and house work, everyone seemed […]

Unity in the Church

by

Peace Family, what can you do today to help heal the need for unity within the Church? I’ve been reading through John, and this morning, I was really struck by Jesus’ prayer for the believers in chapter 17, just before he is arrested and betrayed. He prays not only for his disciples, but also specifically […]

A Time to Forgive

by

Peace family, when was the last time that you examined your heart and chose to pardon those who have sinned against you? Carrying unforgiveness, bitterness, and grudges takes a lot of energy, and we sometimes don’t even realize that we’re doing it. Do you find yourself replaying in your mind the evil (or even just selfish […]

Praying For the Persecuted Church

by

Peace family, I’ve been having nightmares for several weeks, and I’m not sure why. They have ranged from things as dumb as my brother continually arguing with me while I try to lead a climbing team up the side of a building, to as full-blown stressful as being hunted by a team of BLM activists trying […]

Breaking Off Fear

by

Peace Family, are there fears in your life that are holding you back from an abundant life? What about untrue beliefs or “lessons”? I recently got a new housemate, and have also been making some new friends, and both of these circumstances have brought my attention to how our pasts can condition us to hold onto […]
