Presbytidas

Posted on February 2, 2024 by For Glory Sake!

Presbytidas is Greek for old women. There’s no getting around 57 being “older.” My mom used to say she couldn’t wait to turn 70 so she could say whatever she wanted. We daughters would roll our eyes, because she already … Continue reading →

Posted on January 4, 2024 by For Glory Sake!

I woke up thinking about something a very wealthy client mentioned recently. They stated (but not rudely), “I require a certain level of service.” Immediately I thought of God and laughed. Not that He would ever say that, but if … Continue reading →

Losing and finding

Posted on December 15, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Today was fun. Surprise! I found 3 items I’d been hunting for: a lost sock, a workout shirt and under garment. They disappeared weeks ago. Shaking out each clothing item from a bin revealed the culprit – static cling. There … Continue reading →

Better than sheep

Posted on December 3, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Watching White Christmas, I’ve always loved the song that says “count your blessings instead of sheep.” It’s a good habit to practice right before bed and an even better way to start the day. However, there’s actually another counting game … Continue reading →

Winter

Posted on November 29, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

It’s cold. It’s dark in the mornings. There’s little sunlight time. Not my favorite, but this season, like all others is a gift from God… because He Who promises to never leave us or forsake us, also promises that He … Continue reading →

Peace with death

Posted on September 24, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

This past week a friend of our family died. It had been a long tough illness courageously fought. Even though it’s a common topic at work (David’s law practice covers wills, estates and probate), it is still hard to hear … Continue reading →

Every little thing

Posted on August 12, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Of all the verses in Psalm 139 – number 16 blows my mind. Literally translated: (When) Your eyes saw my imperfect form, all of everything was recorded and purposed for me, in Your Resgistry- before one (time) came about. When … Continue reading →

Big Shoes

Posted on August 5, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Walking through life gracefully takes Jesus. Grace matters because other’s are always watching how we live. Just like trying to walk in my mother’s shoes as a little girl, I studied everything she did and tried to emulate her. My … Continue reading →

Difficulties

Posted on July 6, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

Why are some days so hard? Struggle, struggle, up hill trudge. I came home from vacation to one battle after another- go figure! The grass was knee high but the mower wouldn’t start. All 4 tires flat 😳 needed air, … Continue reading →

I lift weights!

Posted on June 12, 2023 by For Glory Sake!

It seems crazy to admit but I do. I go to a gym sometimes daily and lift big heavy barbells… and such. We used to make fun of this back in ballet world. And now I actually enjoy it.  For … Continue reading →
