A Running Anniversary

Posted on September 29, 2017 by For Glory Sake!

Most of my life I knew only ballet. Stopping and birthing children for 10 years took a toll, so at 35, I decided to try running. Alternating a run/walk combo from one mailbox to the next was all I could physically … Continue reading →

Prepared

Posted on April 3, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

Storms happen. What a funny thing to write on such a beautiful peaceful day. Quiet, other than birds singing and the little creek gurgling… but it’s true, storms do come. Sometimes when we least expect them. I’m talking about those … Continue reading →

Posted on April 4, 2012 by For Glory Sake!

I went for a run at a nearby park. A half mile from the car I finally untangled my earphones and tried to turn on music. No sound. Opening the back of my MP3, I discovered – no batteries! Too … Continue reading →

Fasting

Posted on November 16, 2011 by For Glory Sake!

Yesterday I finally fasted. Because I was praying day after day, over a particular thing, that remains -unresolved. I felt my mind becoming over-taxed, over burdened, to the point of distraction! It became nearly debilitating for me to do life and wrestle … Continue reading →
