My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s an ordinary life, but better. It’s Glordinary. Let’s be friends as we celebrate God’s Glory and champion the ordinary.

    #137- Results May Vary: Summer of Sabbath- Revisited

    Two years ago, I sat nervously waiting on a test result, trying not to make it mean something it didn’t. I thought I understood the lesson pretty well at the time. That's cute. 😅 Now, after one emotional college drop-off, I’m apparently taking another trip around the same mountain. This week on Glordinary, we’re revisiting results, our love of control, and what God might be up to when things don’t unfold quite the way we expected. Because results do matter. They just don’t get to mean everything. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “And you know what? I get that. I’ve got to fight my “inner-Saul” too- my tendency to jump in and fix the situation, so-to-speak. My proclivity to prop up the results I want.” You can now find Glordinary, Inc. as a charity on Venmo or PayPal, or find me on our website: www.glordinary.com for any other method of giving.

    REPLAY #25- Making Things Mean Something They Don't: Sabbath Identity

    Share A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend! My “to-do” list is currently winning the war against my “done” list. You too? It’s tempting in these moments to criticize and berate myself, as if my entire value is tied to a Post-It note of crossed-off priorities. Lord, help us! We might as well talk about it because we all do it. Yep, we attach our value to what we do, our identity to our work. Join me in our “Summer of Sabbath” where we'll chat about our identity rooted in rest, not work. We’ll peek at the dream and reality of Genesis 1-3. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "It’s a temptation to turn away from our God-given identity as a human BEING in exchange for our man-made identity as a human DOING. And we’ve been hard at work ever since trying to convince ourselves and the world around us that we’re valuable, important, and worth it.”

    #136- Listen for the Echo: Summer of Sabbath- Revisited

    In a few days, my house is going to feel a little emptier as we move our daughter into her college dorm. A moment of silence for all the college-drop-off mamas. Ha! But as I watch her room slowly empty, it has me thinking about empty spaces. Two years ago, we talked about intentionally making room for them, choosing empty spaces. But what about the empty spaces we don’t choose? This week, we’re heading back to the Canadian Rockies—yes, again—to talk about canyon echoes, learning to recognize the voice of God, and the gift of Sabbath space. Because maybe empty doesn’t mean absent. Maybe the quiet simply makes the echo easier to hear. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “And maybe that's part of the gift of empty spaces: they don't make God speak. They make room for us to hear.” You can now find Glordinary, Inc. as a charity on Venmo or PayPal, or find me on our website: www.glordinary.com for any other method of giving.

    REPLAY #24- Sounds Boring: Sabbath (Empty) Spaces

    A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!  What’s your go-to boredom buster? Let me guess, you don’t have time to be bored! Oh, but Friend, we do and we are. Boring spots? Yep, these are the empty spaces, the gaps, between our flurry of activities. We’re not exactly comfortable with boring, empty spaces…in our schedules or our hearts. Cue Sabbath! Join me as we chat through our discomfort and desperate desire to cram life full-to-the-brim! We’ll settle in and sit still with Psalm 46:10.  www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "Sabbath allows the luxury of discomfort in those empty spaces, allows room for boredom to bubble up. What might God uncover in us if we stopped covering up all the empty spaces…even for one day a week?”

    #135- Too Grown-Up To Play? : Summer of Sabbath- Revisited

    I wasn’t planning to write an episode this week. I was planning to replay an old one, tackle the post-vacation laundry mountain, and call it good. Then one last unexpected hike in the Canadian Rockies changed the plan. Two years after first sharing the story of how I learned to “play my way through,” I’m wondering if maybe we’ve gotten play all wrong. Is it something we’re supposed to outgrow—or something God keeps inviting us back into? With dancing water, frolicking sea creatures, one very disappointing moose sighting, and a little help from Psalm 104, we’re rediscovering wonder, delight, and the God who built both right into His creation. Maybe we’re not too grown-up to play after all. Have a listen! www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “Because play doesn’t critique. It doesn’t evaluate. It doesn’t analyze. It doesn’t scrutinize. It doesn’t adult, at least, not in the boring-adult way. It’s just uninhibited joy. It’s laughter. It’s- well, playful. Man, when did I become such a grown-up? Too grown-up to play?” You can now find Glordinary, Inc. as a charity on Venmo or PayPal, or find me on our website: www.glordinary.com for any other method of giving.

    REPLAY #23- Play Your Way Through: Sabbath Playing

    A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!  Are you in a challenging season that just won’t quit? I hear you. Life sure can knock us down. I know my tendency is to lean in and pray harder. But what if there was another way? Join me as we continue our “Summer of Sabbath” with a Biblical strategy for those rough patches. We’ll team up with Nehemiah 8 and a counterintuitive way through darker days. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "I remember thinking if I just worked harder and prayed more, I’d get through. And then I became the honored guest at my teething toddler’s dinner party. In that time, I clearly heard deep down, “Stace, sometimes you’ve got to play your way through.” Huh? Play. Surely that was “Pray your way through.” Nope, again, I heard it so clearly in 2010, “Play your way through.”

    #134- Guard Your Capacity: Summer of Sabbath- Revisited

    Apparently God can teach me through just about anything these days. This time? A luggage scale. I know...I didn't see that one coming either. As I was packing for our next hiking trip, God reminded me that while He gave us hearts full of compassion, He never asked us to carry the weight of the whole world. Maybe that's why so many of us are exhausted. Not because we've stopped caring. Because we've been carrying more than we were ever meant to. In this week's Summer of Sabbath: Revisited episode, we're talking about protecting our capacity, setting the suitcase down, and discovering why Sabbath is one of God's kindest gifts. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: “And I wonder if that's why so many of us feel numb; why so many of us tune out. We assume compassion disappears because we've stopped caring. But I don't think that's usually true. Compassion disappears because we're exhausted. We've exceeded our capacity.” You can now find Glordinary, Inc. as a charity on Venmo or PayPal, or find me on our website: www.glordinary.com for any other method of giving.

    REPLAY #22- Guarding Your Hedges: Sabbath Observing

    A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!   Does this sound familiar? “Ugh! I’m terrible at Sabbath. Great, another place I’m failing.” Oh, good! I thought I was the only one. So, let’s chat about when our Sabbath goes off the rails and AWOL, my Friend. Listen in for a raw look at my family’s Sabbath last week. We’ll also check in on Moses, Deuteronomy 5, and what it actually means to “observe” the Sabbath.  www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "We’ve been practicing this rhythm for several years now, but we’re not masters at it. If we skip a Sabbath day, we notice it! And if we don’t contend for Sabbath, if we don’t protect it with that figurative thorny hedge, our whole family feels it. Our bodies notice it. Our minds. Our spirits.”
