Living in the Peace Zone
God wired us for thirst – a “low-fluid indicator.” If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting.. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. In the same way, if we deprive our souls of spiritual water, our…
I live in a new community where five homes are being built to the east and west of me. The good news about being the first to build in a new subdivision is you have your choice of lots (mine backs up to a beautiful pond). The bad news about being the first to build…
Day before yesterday, I had the privilege of waiting with a dear friend as her husband was in back surgery by the same Neuro Surgeon and in the same hospital, that my sweetheart was in four years ago. I had a flood of memories as we set there, and I reminisced to my friend about…

“The purer the vessel, the greater the flow” — Staci Wallace Before my girl left for the airport this morning, we had some sweet time talking about how much we desire God’s ultimate “stamp of approval” on our lives, in EVERY area of our lives. We talked about the times when it’s easy, and even…
