Thankful for those who have been stopping by our Place Called Simplicity for awhile and have watched…

I spent most of the day today working on paperwork for little Miss Ruby Grace. Many of you have asked how she is doing? We heard this morning that she is doing a bit better but was more weak today. Please, please, please keep praying for her! We have all the paperwork at Immigration in…

Seriously, I have laughed and laughed tonight reading your comments. I love you guys. You truly provide more entertainment than this woman deserves. I will giggle off and on for days by the stuff some of you have said or guessed. Thank you – this woman needed each and every one of them. So…

Anyone who has been hanging around our Place Called Simplicity any length of time knows how seriously we take the naming of each of our treasures. We pray. We ponder name meanings. We pray some more. We search. And then we narrow it down to one or two. And then we pray some more….

The Christian radio station’s board of directors and owner were meeting behind the scenes. This station broadcasts from Farmington, New Mexico, {about an hour from us.} So the story goes: About a month ago the station owner, Fareed, wanted to talk to me.

Remember The Two Little Brothers From the Slums?

June 15, 2011 Linny Saunders13 Comments

Last month I wrote a post entitled Who Cares? It was about two little boys who live in the slums. Two little brothers that I was watching play one day. Eating rocks. Remember? And then one was almost trampled in a crowd. Fifty-five of you commented how broken your heart was. So many of you…
