Perfect Peace? Is it Possible?
I woke up with two words echoing in my heart — perfect peace.Not decent peace. Not “I’ll be okay if nothing goes wrong” peace.But perfect peace. The kind Isaiah writes about:“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” Isaiah 26:3 I’ve quoted that verse for years, but…
Evicting the Worry Wart
I don’t usually invite worry over for coffee. I’m more of a “blue skies ahead, God’s got this” kind of gal. But every now and then, that pesky Worry Wart sneaks in like it owns the place. It doesn’t knock. It doesn’t ask permission. It just plops itself down, right next to my peace, and…
He Shall Be Called Prince of Peace
He Shall Be Called Prince of PeaceMerry Christmas Eve to you and yours! “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” – Luke 2:14 The angels sang a song that night, one the world still needs to hear— peace is possible. Good will is within reach. But how can it be in a world with so…

Live Fear-LESS
Fearless in these days and times? Get real, girl! Who can be fearless when the smallest fear (like a snake in a flowerbed — that was my daughter a few days ago) to a friend’s upcoming major surgery or another friend’s livelihood being challenged after yet another setback keeps them from being able to earn…
Finding Our Way Home
Let me tell you about the most lost I’ve ever been — more than once or twice! Picture this: new city, unfamiliar streets, and me, utterly convinced I could find my way back home without asking for directions. Spoiler alert: I missed my road home each time. I had just moved to the metropolis of…
Finishing Strong is What Matters
For Super Bowl fans, you already know the outcome, but for the rest who it didn’t matter and didn’t watch the big game, I’m breaking the news to you that the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in the last few minutes of overtime to win and become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champion…
PEACE — at all Cost
If I know peace it is because I know God. Know peace, know God. No peace, no God. And the peace I know is a peace that passes all understanding. I have written many blogs about peace. That peace is the basis for my MyPeaceZone.com website and this blog. Out of the seemingly most difficult…
Peace be with You
I love those words — the words of speaking peace over someone. And isn’t that what this world needs – living in a state of God’s peace that passes all understanding, regardless of circumstances or places we happen to be in at any given time? Isn’t it inspiring to listen to the faith journeys of…
The Demise of the Worry Wart
A worry wart is someone who tends to spend way too much time on – well…worrying — having anxious thoughts about this and that. That’s most often not me! I don’t let myself go there. But, still, there are people issues, car issues, financial issues, and health issues that creep in our minds that trouble…
