Even Though Oceans Apart

Our Emma has been gone now for almost a full year. And even though she is oceans apart, she is always very near to our hearts… We are so grateful for the ability to Skype  on a semi-regular basis {when she has power}. I can’t imagine how missionary families did it not-so-long ago. Recently Emmy…

Ruby girlfriend is up to it again… and our family is shoutin’ for joy! Remember? The little treasure who some said  “would never do anything”… Ya’ that girl. While I was in Africa Dw and I were skyping and  he couldn’t wait to tell me… He’d been lifting Ruby out of her car seat  and…

As the time here is drawing to a close, it is with a true pain in my heart  that I think of leaving. After the team left there was a night I  just couldn’t sleep, much was on my mind. Maybe I was groggy,  but every few minutes I would count  how many days remained…

There’s this crazy thing about how God works…. Ask almost anyone who has brought home a treasure through disruption and they will confirm this truth… The treasure that arrived broken, grieving, fearful, and often angry….. whose anxious eyes peered from an expressionless face… those pensive eyes, the terrified heart  and the fearful face – they…

I confess I am addicted to homes. I love any type: mobile homes, cottages, starter homes, executive homes, mountain homes, old farm homes{my favorite}, long abandoned weathered shacks, apartments, condos and anything in between. There is something about homes that has always fascinated me. If given the chance to peek through any home, the thoughts…

“Well-Rounded”??

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…
