Living in the Peace Zone
Have you ever walked past a glass door and spotted those unmistakable little fingerprints — chocolate smudges, jelly streaks, or mysterious sticky dots you hope aren’t what you think they are? The evidence is real. We know exactly who left it. And those sweet little hands? They had no clue the mess they were making.…
I can’t shake the sense that the word “NEW” is ringing loud and clear from Headquarters. “Old things have passed away – behold, all things have become NEW!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Let the past be the past. Let the new BE new. There’s something special about the start of a new year – the feel…
Ever hear these words: “Don’t keep looking in the rear-view mirror”? What they mean is “Stop looking at the past and the mistakes you made.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, old things are passed away and all things have become new!” That’s good!

Great is His faithfulness; His mercies are new every morning.” Lamentations 3:22-23. I know those words are so true. I know His faithful love, His fresh mercy…
I was checking in with Headquarters (God – my CEO) on what my assignment for 2018 would be, and the message I received was “Word of the Day”. My blogging began in 2010 and it started with daily posts that spoke of the faithfulness of God during our roller coaster ride that sure had its…
Okay, I admit it…..I AM a morning person. When I wake up, I don’t feel the need to pull the blanket over my head and long for just a few more minutes in bed. In fact, I don’t even need an alarm clock — mine is built-in — usually, right on time between 6:00 am…
