About Lacy

Lacy Peyman, from McKee, Kentucky, is a freshman at the University of the Cumberlands. She is majoring in journalism and minoring in religion, with an emphasis on missions. Lacy says her goal in life is to “make it count.”

At age 13, Lacy realized her call to the mission field, but she did not decide to go into journalism until age 17, though she had always had a love for writing. After her four years of college Lacy plans to go on missions and write about her experiences. When she decides to settle down with a family, she would like to work for either a Christian magazine or radio station.

Not currently employed, Lacy is devoting part of her time to writing for The Patriot under the religion section. Combining her work with that and her Intro to Journalism class, she hopes to gain knowledge and experience in the field of journalism.

One movie Lacy has seen recently is “To Save a Life.” Lacy found this film very moving and inspiring. She now claims it as one of her favorites.

When it comes to music Lacy can rarely claim a favorite. She loves most music, having it playing continuously. A song Lacy recently downloaded is “Dive In” by Jennifer Knapp. She found this song very meaningful. Lacy felt that she could relate to the artist when she says "I'm so tired of standing on the edge of myself. You know I'm longing for it. To dive in. Dive in."

Normally Lacy does not read many newspapers or magazines for news. Many times she will read MSN’s news section. It has both informative and interesting information.

Two of the most memorable books Lacy has read are the Bible and “Three” by Frank Peretti. Peretti is one of Lacy’s favorite authors. He writes Christian fiction that is both thrilling and meaningful. “Three” was full of excitement, suspense, and mystery, making it hard for Lacy to put down. Yet the Bible will always be the most memorable book for Lacy. To her it is the foundation of her life and everything she believes and lives for.

Lacy is starting the new chapter of her life full of hope and determination.
