Glory? I'm moving

Posted on January 17, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Writing, “Ben & Abby’s wedding shower, 2pm” completely blew me away. My eyes blurred thinking about our sweet son, nearly 4 years sober and his beautiful bride-to-be. Only God can bring about change and blessing like this! Again my promise came to mind… … Continue reading →

Gifts from Losses

Posted on December 24, 2015 by For Glory Sake!

I’ve heard that the 1st holiday following a death is the toughest… Christmas is here and my parents aren’t. They’ve always been a part of our celebrations, and it seems strange not to have them around. Our joy over their … Continue reading →

Marinating

Posted on December 8, 2015 by For Glory Sake!
