I love how some of you have an extra special spot  in your hearts for  one or another of our treasures. This post is for all the  “Jubilee Fan Club”  groupies. haha.   Jubilee definitely has a difficult time  understanding many abstract concepts {like a club of groupies who adore her}  but if she did, …

Moms are usually the ones with “eyes in the back  of their head” or so it’s said. No doubt, over and over the old saying  has been proven true in our home. But what happens when Mom is out of the country? Good Question. {haha} So the word coming to us over here in Africa is …

I have to laugh to myself… The Lord is completely amazing. I grew up in the city,  but every single day longed for the country.

Linny Saunders28 Comments

I was thinking about the words “well rounded”  lately. Over the years I’ve often heard people say, “We want our children to be ‘well-rounded’.”  But what in the world does that even really mean?   So glad you asked…   The definition of  “well-rounded”:   someone who is skilled, capable or knowledgeable  in a lot of…
