January 09 BONUS REPLAY! Don't You Care? : Dealing With Life's Distractions
Ever feel like no matter how hard you're trying, you just seem to come up short? There's always one.more.thing. Oh, and you probably need to drink more water too. I hear ya.
Know you're not alone in your to-do's and distractions as Stacy offers some Luke 10 encouragement from Mary and Martha. Spoiler-alert: She's Team Martha.
www.glordinary.com
"Interestingly, the original Greek word here means “dragging around all that is distracting.” Yep, that pretty much defines me. I’m guessing it may define you too. Dragging around your distractions: your priorities, your jobs, your worries. Oh, man, can I relate to this image. Like a ball and chain, I sure can drag around my distractions like a profession."
PS- If you’d like to help keep the conversation going, would you consider “buying a cup of coffee” for a Glordinary episode or two…or each month? Maybe pitch in a few dollars as a symbolic cup of Joe for our friends across the globe. (23 countries, 43 states, 6 continents)
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. The website can also direct you to our PO Box just in case you ever want to send me a note, snail-mail style. Thank you so much!

January 08 BONUS REPLAY! Say That: Why Your Voice Matters
Ever feel insecure and more than a little terrified for the next chapter in your story? Find out why your voice matters more than you know. You're in good company as Stacy invites courage from Luke's Gospel.
www.glordinary.com
"The reasons Luke shouldn’t have written a Gospel tell us far less about Luke and far more about God...and His invitation. Luke wasn’t one of the inner 12 that had instant credibility. He wasn’t even Jewish. Okay. But that alone tells us so.much.more about God the Father. God did not discount Luke based on what he lacked."

January 07 #100- Keep the Conversation Going: 100 Episodes Deep
There’s just something exciting about turning 100, which I’m not. But I’m super excited about Glordinary’s 100th episode! (Read to the end for ways to help celebrate!)
Let’s celebrate together with a good cup of coffee and a look at Psalm 100. Plus, we’ll take a peek at where we’ve been and where Glordinary’s going. Let’s continue to celebrate God’s Glory and champion the ordinary for another 100 episodes.
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt:
“Because for 100 conversations, God continues to show me He’s good, that His love for me, His love for you, continues. That He’s FOR us, not leaving us. That He is faithfully walking alongside of us. That He is the actual one saying, “You’re not alone in this. I’m praying for you, Friend. Have a Glordinary Day!”

January 05 BONUS REPLAY! Prioritizing The Three R's: Right Things, Right Way, Right Time
Need a little pick-me-up for the first Monday of 2026? Here's the first episode from 2025 to help keep you going. See you Wednesday for our 100th episode!
Starting strong is easy for some people. For others? Well, maybe your “get up and go,” got up and went. Wherever you fall on the spectrum of new beginnings, let’s grab a cup of coffee together. We’ll chat about prioritizing our lives the best way possible. New year, age-old wisdom from 2 Chronicles 29.
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt:
“Because Friend, sometimes, in order to start the right things, in the right way, at the right time, we have to undo a thing or two. We have to open some doors that’ve been closed a long time. We’ve got to make some repairs. Sometimes we need to unlearn some things…even some things that maybe seemed helpful, convenient, or “right” at the time.”

December 31, 2025#99- Word of the Year...Still Nope: Reflections Over Resolutions
Do you kind of lose track of the days between Christmas and New Year’s? I know, me too! Yet, this is the exact moment in time most influential leaders implore us to make critical life declarations. The infamous “Word of the Year” or New Year’s Resolutions racket.
Look, I decided a long time ago I was not a “Word of the Year” kind of girl. Too much pressure. And resolutions? They’re often hopeful but not always helpful. Instead, I take a few moments and prayerfully ponder some reflection questions as we turn the calendar page. I’m inviting you to join me with your own reflections.
www.glordinary.com
Here’s a small excerpt:
“These questions, or a combination thereof, become bookends as I say hello and goodbye to the changing year. Reflecting on the helpful, the distracting, the celebrations, the mundane, and the pending keeps me living the Glordinary life of one foot in front of the other. Glimpsing His Glory in the ordinary.”
Reflection Questions:
Where did God seem most present to me this year?
Where did He seem absent? (PS…This one isn’t a trick question. He’s not absent, but naming the spots I *think* He’s absent is a helpful starting point for a future conversation with Him.)
What worked well this year?
What didn’t work well?
When did I feel most alive, most like myself?
What left me feeling drained and depleted?
What am I grateful I made time for this year?
What am I proud of this year?
What question or desire am I still holding?
Where am I hopeful to see God at work next year?
Bonus Questions:
What do I need more/less of this coming year?
Where did my confidence grow/fade?
Who did I learn most from?
What was my best yes, best no?
What was a pivotal decision made in 2025?
***Questions are a sampling of ones I've collected from authors, such as: Emily P. Freeman, Sarah Mackenzie, and Joshua Becker.

December 24, 2025 #97- Love Lasts: (Even When Hallmark Doesn't)
Congratulations! You made it. Christmas is here.
Yet, before we say goodbye to our Advent Remembers series, let’s share in one last conversation before the wrapping paper goes flying. Unwrap our final Advent episode as we focus on everlasting love.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
"You see for all the beauty of olam, this everlasting love, do you know why the words were penned in Jeremiah 31:3? Because the relationship was basically dead- over, and there aren’t a lot of Hallmark movies ending that way."
PS- Be sure to join me Thursday morning, bright and early, for a special Christmas reading. Merry Christmas, Friend!

December 17, 2025 #96- Joy Treats: Finding Joy Amidst Junk
Did you know “holy day” is where we derive our word for holiday? I’m thinking December didn’t get the memo. With all the hustle and bustle, the Christmas season can feel way more hustle than holy.
I’ve got an idea. Let’s warm up together with another conversation in our Advent Remembers series. We’ll chat about joy in all the seasons, even Christmas.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
"They have no more wine. They have no more joy. So, what was supposed to be the happiest day (uh, week) of their lives is about to get… real bad. Honeymoon’s over before we even got there. They have no.more.joy. Ever been there? There now? Yeah, I get that.”

December 10, 2025 #95- Peace Rules: Setting & Resetting Your Mind
We’re in the thick of it now! December! Phew, brace yourself. My car said it was -3 degrees today, and that’s…well, that’s not making my weary world rejoice. But our Advent Remembers series is.
So join me to chat about peace. Let’s warm our souls and thaw our toes together.
www.glordinary.com

Here’s a small excerpt:
"It’s searching your heart, your thoughts, dividing between soul and spirit. In the messy places, you’re finding a treasure trove of His word under the “couch cushions” of your life. The stuffed “closets” of your mind start overflowing with Christ-like thoughts and actions, clearly not of your own. I’ve heard it said that the peace of Christ rules, where the word of Christ dwells."

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…
