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 decorations and gift returns that I can not put off for another day...and yet I do. I really am excited about the new year, though, I was just hoping… Continue reading Another New Year
Good Friday
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… Continue reading Good Friday
Story=Peace
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… Continue reading Story=Peace
Jesus Wins
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… Continue reading Jesus Wins
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 into the Langley family. I fell in love, not only with Bill but also with his family.… Continue reading GET YOUR IRON UP
It’s A Wrap
Photo by Maria Verkhoturtseva on Pexels.com When we were growing up, my brother would wrap all the Christmas gifts. He took a painstaking effort to make each one special. Before we ripped right into the gift he would say, “Stop, notice the wrapping!” We stopped in mid-air and looked adoringly at the box and would… Continue reading It’s A Wrap
There Are Things In Life
I am reposting this as I have done for the last few Augusts. I hope it is helpful! 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… Continue reading There Are Things In Life

IF IT IS THE LORD’S WILL
Photo by Ketut Subiyanto on Pexels.com I’m notorious for doing what James warns about in James 4:13, “Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Well, I don’t say that exactly! I do however like to make… Continue reading IF IT IS THE LORD’S WILL
FIVE YEARS OF STORYPEACE
I barely made it in time to write this November blog. This month is actually my 5-year anniversary of writing this blog! On week one of 2015 my goal was to write every day. Very soon that got adjusted to every week and I did that for a good while. The next thing I knew… Continue reading FIVE YEARS OF STORYPEACE
