Hi Peace Family, Jami here and I was recently reading about how the root of many of our resentments and unhappiness stems from unmet expectations. “Expectations are just premeditated resentment.” Boy…does that hit home! I am a focused, goal oriented person with a bit of perfectionism thrown in. That combination can make for unrealistic […]
Christmas Books to Celebrate the Season
Peace family, there are so many things that make this time of year special, including Christmas books. What are your favorite Christmas books and stories? A friend and I were recently discussing the kinds of stories that were read to us around Christmastime as children, and it reminded me of some stories that I haven’t […]
Christmas Card Compassion
Peace family, have you ever thought of Christmas cards as an opportunity to show love, reach out, and restore peace? I know Christmas cards are a dying art, but when I was a child, one of my favorite things each year was the way that my mom would take all of the Christmas cards that […]

If You Live in A Hard Country
Peace family, one of the amazing things about the internet is that we can communicate with people all across the world. However, sometimes we can still feel alone in our faith. A friend of mine was in a country last week, where it is not safe to talk about Jesus, and almost impossible to find […]
The Joy of Finishing
Peace family, when was the last time you’ve worked on a long-standing project that was well worth it? I haven’t been able to talk about it on this blog or on the air, because it’s been a surprise, but for more than a year, I’ve been working on a quilt for a friend […]
Feeling Isolated
Peace family, do you ever feel isolated? Are you feeling alone right now? I think we all feel isolated sometimes. We start to wonder why we bother sharing our hearts or troubles because no one seems to care. We start to feel like we don’t matter to anyone. We grow tired and bitter about super […]
Running Ahead of God
Peace family, do you ever find yourself running ahead of God? My cats recently reminded me how important it is to watch out for this! Over the weekend, my cats had informed me that they were hungry, and I was carrying one, but the other two scrambled and ran ahead to their food dish. Even […]
Small Joys
Peace family, I want to share some small joys in my life! Where are you finding delight these days? Lately, I’ve been finishing up a very large quilting project. I’ve had a lot of fun this year, experimenting with an instant pot, and also with a bread machine. Also, it’s taken work, but I’ve gotten […]
Taking Time For Encouragement
Peace family, when was the last time that you set aside time to be intentionally encouraged in Christ? Sometimes, feeling lonely can be a wake up call to spend time with God. Feeling blue can be a chance to talk to him about what we’re going through. Feeling cross can be an opportunity to examine […]
I See You
Peace Family, there are times we all feel invisible and unimportant. Sometimes other people make us feel that way and other times it’s circumstances of life. It just happens to us. Another way to think about it is how many invisible people are in your daily life and cross your path? My friend Rick […]
Life After Harvey
Peace family, our area has survived Harvey, but what now? Sometimes, the aftermath of a crisis can be even harder to sort out than surviving the crisis itself. We need to remember that a lot of people are stressed and grieving, and they might feel and act weirdly and unpredictably for a while. That’s okay. […]
Preserving Our Peace
Peace family, where do you find your peace? Is there anything we can do to preserve our peace? Every so often, I allow myself to become discouraged not only by the evil things in the world, but also by the ways that people react to them. I get discouraged by the ways that people treat […]
