I Married My Soulmate

Posted on June 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

My grandfather owned a house at the beach. Which meant that every summer, our family of cousins and other relatives squeezed-in together and enjoyed a few days in each other’s company. This tradition of vacation and family lasted long after my … Continue reading →

Diet For The Tongue

Posted on May 18, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

James – What a book to study! It gets me every time with all the control your tongue-talk. I tell my 2 chatty daughters, “Your mouth is your biggest asset and your greatest downfall.” I know because it’s mine. Mouths … Continue reading →

Privileged

Posted on May 8, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

Together-finally

Posted on May 3, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

24/7! That’s what it’s been since returning from the hospital and picking up a moving truck. David’s blockage cleared in a week without need of any surgery. Praise God! There is no way to tell what caused it, other than … Continue reading →

Stop Everything!

Posted on April 4, 2014 by For Glory Sake!
