No more stuff, please

Posted on May 3, 2019 by For Glory Sake!

The older David and I get, the fewer things we want. We stopped giving each other gifts (birthday, anniversary, Christmas) more than 10 years ago. Instead we enjoy experiences -like travel! We asked our children in 2008 if they would … Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2019 by For Glory Sake!
