Ouch, That's My Heart!

Posted on September 19, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Interim

Posted on September 14, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

I am of that infamous group, the “sandwich generation” – ones caring for parents while still raising their own children. The longer we do this crazy blended living we more we run into others doing the same thing. I look at … Continue reading →

G R A C E

Posted on September 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Grace – I think about it constantly. It’s in my prayers every day. I read about it again just this morning in a perfectly timed email. Can we truly ever get to the bottom of it’s well? Can we define … Continue reading →

Dirty Faith

Posted on August 16, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

David Z. Nowell, president of Hope Unlimited (one of our favorite ministries), wrote a book, Dirty Faith. It’s thought provoking and convicting having everything to do with his work in Brazil among street children. My husband and I love what … Continue reading →

Tied Feet

Posted on August 11, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Elizabeth Elliot used to say, “Children tie the mother’s feet.” -I’d like to add aging parents to that thought. I feel like I’m back at square one: constantly watching a wandering, curious. hungry, toddler, who needs help in the potty- … Continue reading →

Wasps and Shugga

Posted on July 31, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

As much as I fretted over coming home, worried about it, thought I couldn’t do it (I’m just being honest), – we’re back.  Vacation was fun, but it’s not reality. It’s time to get to it. When my sister asked … Continue reading →

Itch or No Itch!

Posted on July 25, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Our family reunion was wonderful! All of my husband’s immediate family joined us. We had never tried a summer gathering before. Unfortunately, his parents were not able to get away as they are now caring for the great grandmother. Interesting … Continue reading →

A Bit Plagued…

Posted on July 12, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Maybe it’s all for the sake of humility, but I prefer to hope it’s for His Glory…I’ve been diagnosed via Urgent Care with a case of Pityriasis Rosea although the dermatologist thinks it’s from some vines I pilled in our … Continue reading →

Working Up An Attitude

Posted on June 16, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

“Discontentment is: having what you don’t want, or wanting what you don’t have.” a quote by Elisabeth Elliot that I finally wrote it down and tacked it up along with her, “In acceptance lies peace.” I love these. I can hardly think … Continue reading →

I Married My Soulmate

Posted on June 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

I have heard and read (several times) of an opinion that: a God-given, one-of-a-kind, match-made-in-heaven, soul-mate is – impossible, impractical and probably unbiblical. What? I don’t have any verses to quote, all I can say is that God made this … Continue reading →
