Peace family, no matter how hard anything else is in our lives, there are always small, beautiful things to look out for and celebrate! This week, after a year of waiting, my neighbor Cynthia and I celebrated the ripening of a peach on her peach tree. Now, this is a very special peach tree. It has […]

Peace family, Father’s Day can be hard, especially for those who are grieving. Brazos Valley Hospice Chaplain Gary Roe says Father’s Day is a wonderful day, unless you’ve lost a father, in which case, it’s a very, very difficult day. There are numbers of ways to lose dads. We can lose them to death, relational […]

Peace family, when the news is bad, we can get discouraged. When we hear about another terrorist attack, it can make our hearts feel sick. When we see right being called wrong, and wrong being called right, we can feel like giving up on it all! While we have to face the same old day-to-day […]

Peace family, we recently discussed an article on the air that talked about how clutter and feeling depressed can feed off of one another. We want to encourage and uplift you, so we thought we’d search out some practical tips for getting a little more organized and bringing more peace to our surroundings! We decided […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Peace family, I recently read a very thought-provoking quote. It said, “If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph.” We have a lot of real life examples to aid us in finding out where our focus is. You’ve probably heard the Bible verse, “Where your treasure is, there will your […]
