Wow! You write about such profoundly simple things(or should it be simply profound, or both?). And you do it so plainly and powerfully! And you do it without even a hint of arrogance (Some people I know are so brilliant they can strut while they’re sitting down.). In the process of telling your stories, I have a strong impression that you’re sharing truth which can change lives! I really enjoy and admire your work. ~donkimrey

Great storytelling, and so rich with meaning.

Billy,

I just wanted to let you know that I started my day at work by reading this post with my coffee this morning (can’t comment from work because Big Brother blocks it). Had lots of patients to see, so left the office without logging out. One of my colleagues came in the office–bad morning. She saw your post and read it. She said it gave her peace! This gal doesn’t go to church. Not sure what she believes. But I was so glad you were there for her this morning.

You bless.

I hear talk of peace all the time. People are seeking peace and yet they will not find it on this earth. The only peace can be found in a personal relationship with God through Jesus. Heart peace; that’s the true peace.

And yet it is good that people seek it. Yet peace is a person …Jesus.

I loved this post and story of three very different lives seeking the same thing in different ways.

Blessings,
Debbie

We say we ALL want peace. But do we ALL want peace? Do I work relentlessly toward that goal? Do I want peace globally so our precious young people do not continue to be sacrificed in the pursuit of peace – and when I say OUR precious young people, I mean the world’s precious young people because they ALL pray for peace too. If we ALL want peace why don’t we have it?

I so agree with you and your commenters, Billy, living the best way we can with God’s commandments of love will bring us peace, perhaps the only peace to be found while living in this freedom of choice world. Why doesn’t our love of peace spread throughout the world if we ALL want it. Only our Creator knows why – God must get weary sometimes with our talk of peace and our ways of war — ooeee, you got me going:)!

Peace is being able to hand it over and not take it back. I am blessed tonight reading this. Thank you sir.

I loved this! It’s so true — there is no peace except in Him. I’m addicted to that peace! (smile)

We can be so thick-headed with this stuff, but it’s still the truth. Nice post.

He is the life that I want, that I have always wanted. It took me years to believe it.

That’s peace, for me. It ends the striving, the hedging, the anxious searching. In Him, I have all.
