It Can All Wait…

As Daddy and Liberty were leaving for a meeting last night the kids questioned, “Mom, do you want to play Hide-n-Seek with us?” I stared into their sweet pleading faces as all the things that needed tending to flashed through my mind: the paperwork for medical stuff, the sorting to better organize one of the…

Middle of the Night Wanderings….

A few days ago we were having a discussion at the kitchen table. It was causing quite a bit of laughter so I grabbed my camera and asked if they would start over. We know Ruby is awake many nights and often for many hours, but we had no idea that some wonder about…here and…

Her Words vs. The Truth

March 3, 2015June 23, 2015 Linny Saunders22 Comments

Today I was reflecting on a phone call I once had. I’d completely forgotten about it. The year was 1989. I can even almost picture what I was wearing that early spring day at our home in Getzville, New York. Back in the day house phones were the way people called each other, there was…

Saturday’s Test

We all have them. The fears that are tucked away in our head…that if we allow them to be pondered for very long we can become overwhelmed and even paralyzed. The fears that must be ignored so we can focus on the faithfulness of God. Personally, I cannot even give them any place in my…

For Months He Whispered….

In the early part of 2008 the Lord began to whisper to my soul, “You have an Elijah coming home.” He whispered it daily for months. I wondered where that Elijah might be?? Never mentioned it to the Bossman…just figured I would let Him tell him when He was good and ready. As Dw was…

When I began writing our Place Called Simplicity, I meant it to be a journal to my family. Just a place to share my thoughts about the people I love, the miracles we have seen God work and the things I am most passionate about. Never would I have dreamed, not even in a…

We were just finishing up Bible and prayer time today when I might have overheard one of my guys kind of whisper to one brother, “I shave my hair.” Wide-eyed I glanced up, “You what?” A bit embarrassed he glanced down, “I shave my hair.” “What hair?” “This hair. I only cut myself here,” pointing…

Isaiah and Elizabeth Publicly Speak Up About Ruby

Last night, during the Monday night football pre-game show Elizabeth and Isaiah had the incredible opportunity to speak out about what it is like to have Ruby as their sister. But first let me back up a bit… Hope Kids is an amazing organization which puts together events for the families of treasures with life-threatening…

Twists and Turns

An average day. But not an average outcome and certainly not a day we were expecting. Not even a blip on my radar. Yet, it was what it was. ***** Finding it impossible to think. Completely overwhelmed. Returning home with the ones who were with me, my littles greeted us where Dw had been watching…

The Shocking Twist!!

I seriously appreciated each of you who took the time to give some of your thoughts on what you would have done. I confess that I giggled when I read what Randi and Melissa P’P said. And truthfully, Vicki H – Oh girlfriend! You made me laugh straight out loud! And JT – I totally…
