This guy right here is celebrating his 7th… where in the world has the time gone? I know as parents we say that a ton but really, this time, I really mean it. For you who’ve been hanging around our Place Called Simplicity for a while you will remember him as the guy who together…

Last night as I was climbing into bed, my mind wandered and began to flood with fear-filled thoughts. I had to stop and pray and ask the Lord for His peace to replace the memories. I wondered if I would even be able to sleep. Exactly five years before I was climbing into bed, …

Every now and then there is an adoption rumbling – or at least that’s what I call it – when several bloggy friends meet their children all on the same day, most often in Ch*na. I know of at least three treasures who met their family today… I could hardly get my eyes open fast …
