Peace family, grieving can be especially painful during the holidays. Gary Roe, chaplain with Hospice Brazos Valley, is going to be checking in with us for the next several weeks, and he has some tips for healing and making it through the holidays. Gary says Christmas can be a great time of year, but it can […]
Finding Comfort At Christmas
Peace family, Christmas is a time of joy, but I’ve had a lot of pain at and around Christmas from different events during the last several years. If you are struggling this Christmas, I want you to know that you are not alone. As believers in Christ, we can still feel the deep joy that […]
God With Us
Peace family, one of the things that I love about Christmas, is the prevalence of nativity scenes. Although they all might look different, they carry the same beautiful message of encouragement. I’ve seen the Holy Family imagined as all kinds of people: dark-skinned, blonde, Andean (complete with llamas in the stable), and even Thai. Growing […]
Trying Not to Worry
Peace family, do you ever find yourself anxious? For some reason, the last several days, I have been feeling nervous or anxious, but as far as I know, there isn’t anything specific that I am actively worrying about. I have had several stressful dreams, and have woken up almost every hour for several hours in […]
A Taco Testimony
Peace family, do you ever feel completely overwhelmed, and then something special happens that completely transforms your day? Today has been one of those days! I was feeling really discouraged this morning. I have a lot of things on my plate right now, and a lot of work that I have to do today, plus […]
Healing Is Worth The Pain
Peace family, I’ve been fostering some teacup chihuahuas, and it has been a great reminder that working towards healing is worth it, even though it’s hard. These dogs came from a hoarding situation (the house had a total of 49 dogs, mainly chihuahuas) and they have several issues because of it. They are very cute […]
Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement
Peace Family, when was the last time that you had the chance to do an inventory of your life and heart? From sunset tonight through sunset tomorrow, Jewish people everywhere will observe Yom Kippur, a day of fasting and a time to examine the year gone by. Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement,” and it’s […]
The Greatness of God and Longing For Significance
Peace family, over the weekend, I visited NASA and as always, I felt inspired, but also a little sad. As a child, I dreamed of becoming an astronaut. My brother and I went to space camp, and we loved it. Unfortunately, around 6th grade, I lost all confidence in my mathematical abilities, so engineering was […]
God’s Goodness In Chaos
Peace family, when was the last time that your life devolved into seemingly total chaos? If it’s any clue for the state of my affairs, today has been a two-full-mugs-of-coffee-plus-a-full-mug-of-green-tea day! The beautiful thing about a time like this, is that when God steps in and provides for you, it is so much more […]
Taking Apart An Instant Pot
Peace family, ever since Amazon Prime day, I have had so much fun cooking with my Instant Pot, but I thought I had killed it this weekend! If you haven’t heard of an Instant Pot, it’s basically like a slow cooker and a pressure cooker had a baby together. It’s good for the cuts of […]
Keeping Our Words Sweet
Peace family, how can we keep our words sweet today? The Bible is clear about the power of our tongues to build up or tear others down. Whether we’re tired, sick, frustrated, or hurting, we still have a choice of how to speak to the people around us. I speak for a living, and I still struggle […]
Grace For Our Bodies
Peace family, this past weekend, I went to Galveston, and there was a lot to take in! There were many things I enjoyed; I got to see purple seahorses, penguins, and a cinnamon tree at Moody Gardens, I walked the beach at sunset and saw scampering crabs, and I got to visit the Strand, which is […]
Experiencing Hope on Avila Beach Swings
One of the most wonderful things to come out of being diagnosed with cancer in 2013 was meeting someone else with the same rare form of cancer. Actually she found me. Babs searched the internet and could not find a single survivor to talk to. Her friend, Monica decided she was going to find one […]
Scramble for Still Creek Ranch Almost Here!
Peace family, there’s a great opportunity to enjoy a day of golf while supporting local kids! Chloe Bush with Still Creek Ranch says the golf scramble will be Monday, June 19, at Pebble Creek Country Club, which is absolutely beautiful. They will be working with golf pro Chad Barrett, who has some really fun things […]

Peace family, there are so many things in our community for kids to enjoy this summer! Maria Lazo with Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History says they are offering all kinds of great topics each week, usually science or history-based. The first week kicked off with the topic of “Our Galaxy and Beyond,” where kids learned about […]
