Peace, Wonderful Peace
I personally need this blog today. I’m sitting front and center! Maybe you can use it too! We all long for deep and real peace, but where is it when it seems anything, but peace is all around us? I’ve heard it said: “There will never be peace until we’re all laid to rest.” Those…
Join Me in my Peace Zone
That’s where I live. That place was modeled for me by my “peace-filled” mom. Tough times didn’t overtake her peace. It almost seemed she was in a bubble of peace that no-one or no-thing could pop that bubble. I’m ever grateful she modeled that peace for me. I know it too. I am adamant about…

So many people in the Florida Panhandle are facing “life AFTER the devastation from…

What is PERFECT Peace?
A couple of weeks ago, I awoke with the words “perfect peace” going on in my mind. I’m always quoting Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I don’t think I’ve ever thought about PERFECT peace before. What is PERFECT peace? I did…
