On April 23, 2013, in Giveaways, Matters that Matter, Reflections, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

Well, far be it from me to say, “I told you so.”, but…   Do you remember this post from August of 2011?  I may actually have the gift of prophecy.  Just sayin’.  lol I am so blessed that God moved Gretchen Jester right into the center of “my universe”  in 2010.  She is a [...]

Life Changes, Organizational Skills and Priorities

On March 30, 2013, in Family Circus, Matters that Matter, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

I almost started this post with the sentence, “Last year, was a crazy year”, but then I realized, every year is a crazy year!  lol  We don’t plan it or even wish it, but every year brings it’s share of life changes and harried scrambles to adapt to them.  Granted, last year, and the beginning [...]

An Update and Explanation of Our Situation

On December 28, 2012, in Matters that Matter, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

I’m sitting next to my husband’s hospital bed, this morning, and I am rejoicing!  God is so incredibly good and throughout this entire experience, has been so incredibly present — opening doors, paving the way, protecting us — I’m feeling blessed and grateful.  I’ve had several people look at me like I’m crazy when I [...]

Grandma’s Apple Salad

On June 17, 2011, in Family Circus, In the Kitchen, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

One of my favorite memories of childhood is chopping apples in my grandma’s kitchen surrounded by my mom and all my aunts who were also working on various aspects of a family dinner.  It was a big kitchen, but it was always crowded because there were LOTS of us.  My dad was one of 11 [...]

On April 27, 2011, in Family Circus, Matters that Matter, Parenting and Grandparenting, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

This is my first Wordless Wednesday post.   I get the concept, but seriously; did you really think I would be totally wordless? -  lol-   Maybe I’ll start calling it Mostly Wordless Wedneday. I love these people and the only ones missing from this day were our daughter and son-in-law, who were just married [...]

Hooray! Huzzah! I Love my Kitchen Sink!

On December 30, 2010, in Home and Garden, In the Kitchen, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, all the sinks and tubs drained properly — EXCEPT in the kitchen.  Mmmhhhmmm…on Christmas Eve my kitchen sink seized up and dug in it’s heels like a two-year-old who hasn’t figured out, yet, he can’t win.  It refused to drain.  Nothing worked to settle the [...]

Be Still and Know…

On July 20, 2010, in Matters that Matter, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

“Be still, and know that I am God…”  Psalm 46:10 Be still.  I WANT that.  When was the moment I stopped taking the time for it?  I can’t remember, but I know I need to start again and make it a regular part of my day.  I want to say that I can blame it [...]

My Relevant 2010 Conference Aspirations

On June 29, 2010, in Reflections, by Glenda Embree

To a lot of you who know me and love me, and even more so for some of those of you who don’t, it makes absolutely no sense that I would aspire to attend a bloggers conference.  See, I lost some of you, right there.  – lol  But, Relevant isn’t just another blogger’s conference. The [...]

To Highly Resolve

On January 11, 2010, in Reflections, by Glenda Embree

I’m talking about something much more powerful than a New Year’s Resolution.  I’m talking about the kind of resolve that doesn’t fade away after the middle of January.  I don’t have any. In my own power and on my own steam, I can’t accomplish anything worthwhile for very long.  The power of Christ in a [...]

Wrapping It All Up

On December 16, 2009, in Home and Garden, Reflections, by Glenda Embree

The wrapping is nearly done, at least for what I have finished.  I still have a handful of items I am sewing or crafting, etc.  I’m a “work better under pressure” kind of girl.    lol David gave me a Cricut Expressions for Christmas AND he let me have it right now.  Is that the [...]
