Our family loves the show Survivor! In 2020 we started watching it from the beginning, every episode… and almost always together. It was a joy to find something to share with our adult kids. We have laughed and stressed and … Continue reading →

Worth the wait

Posted on January 14, 2020 by For Glory Sake!

Incase we haven’t had coffee together or lunch, you may not know: I’m the 1st to admit, I‘ve had issues. Selfish, pigheaded issues! And so have my kids. They unfortunately inherited my genes- as all humans do- sinful, willful, stubborn … Continue reading →

Wonderful Season of Life

Posted on August 1, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Raising adult children is so… different. Different from when they were little- that’s for sure. They are not the little children that once needed me to tell them what to do. With our kids being 14-25 now, they have thoughts, plans, hopes … Continue reading →

The Stuff of Life

Posted on February 6, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Focusing My Mind

Posted on October 25, 2014 by For Glory Sake!

I run a big household and some days I am overwhelmingly distracted. There’s a cacophony of noise in my head, and the kids were beginning to think I’m a chronic daydreamer. They tell me, “You’re not listening, Mom.” They’re right, but I … Continue reading →

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 →
