I remember so many things my kids and my nieces and nephews said. They are funny little quips that fit the moment. When Our nephew Dillon was a toddler, he was so creative, smart, and funny. When he wanted to hold your hand he would say (with a funny little British accent that we don't know where it came from), "...

It seems ironic that as we begin the hectic month of December I am reminded this morning that Jesus is the Prince of Peace! In a month that can seem filled with everything but peace, the irony is not lost on me! I almost laughed when I started reading my devotion because I got up early to try to do a million things to get caught up. ...

Photo by Julian Jagtenberg on Pexels.com Who am I? A historically existential question that has been done to death. Whether you struggle, and how deep your soul is longing, makes this question relevant or boring. For me, it's a question I've wrestled with throughout my life. I'm a middle child. And I guess I still carry a lot of baggage. I have exceptional siblings above and below me ......

Another New Year Every year I experience pretty much the same stages you might go through…denial, napping, procrastination, more napping, starting my diet tomorrow, and finally facing the Christmas decoration…

It's Good Friday. Our grandkids spent the night last night and Bill was telling the Bible story about good Friday and what it means. He reminded them that it seems strange to call the day Jesus was crucified and suffered "Good" Friday. It was the most painfully hard day for Jesus in every way but it was good for us that He willingly offered up His life as our sacrifice to pay for our sin....

It’s finally spring … the rebirth of old things and the promise of new things to come! I decided in honor of the new season a reintroduction is in order. My blog is called “Storypeace.” My purpose for writing is to tell my story, and maybe even yours at times, in the hopes someone will read and be encouraged in their own journey....

January of 2022!! I, unfortunately, find myself already metaphorically stuffed from the leftovers of 2020 and 2021… unable yet to celebrate a new year. Bringing in the new year didn’t feel exciting, hopeful, optimistic, or new, for that matter. It felt more like a big cold heaping plate of tired leftovers from the previous two years. I instead felt dread, disappointment, chaos, anger, frustration, unresolved conflict, and anxiety. ...

GET YOUR IRON UP Happy New Year!! Good or bad, I am a classic people pleaser. I want everything to run smoothly and happily. I want everyone to love Jesus, each other, and be sweet. I was the first one to marry int…

My sister sent me this picture on her desk and said this... "I have this on my table to remind me to speak strength and truth into my students each day!" I felt so honored and I thought I should repost this blog today for those of you who just might need a little encouragement. School has started back for most. [ 1,003 more word ]

We've never been where we are today. It's worrisome, frustrating, and tedious. When I watch a movie, the greatest part is when the good guys win. I hold onto the fact that I know the good guys do win in the end of this earthly story...that sustains me and holds me securely. Honestly, I always believed I would be gone before things got this crazy in America...but I am not and neither are you! [ 398 more words ]

I was reading from Oswald Chambers ‘My Utmost for His Highest’ today. What I read seemed so timely for us as believers. Our society is pressuring us to line up and make public declarative statements regarding things that leave a check in my spirit. My declaration is to Jesus Christ and Him alone. I have several questions. Have we, as Christians, become anemic, fearful, and sidetracked? [ 945 more words ]

Think of that. When I saw that phrase in a devotional I realized that is exactly what I do, I monitor God’s responsibilities. I get on my knees and pray telling God that I know He is in control and that I trust Him. Why do I then get up, walk away, grab my keys, jump in the driver’s seat of my car of control and speed off?
