So Much for That Idea…

August 29, 2012 Linny Saunders28 Comments

Living in Phoenix I have been trying to think of creative ways for the kids to burn some energy in this heat {besides the pool}. So last night I had everyone get their clothes, sneakers and socks ready to scoot out the door bright and early for a hike to the neighborhood park. Ruby must…

When Dw resigned from senior pastoring to move to Phoenix for Ruby’s medical needs, we knew that God would faithfully provide. The Lord had gone before us in such a mighty way to know that it was finally time to launch International Voice of the Orphan. He will faithfully provide for each of our…

The bride was beside herself with joy {Autumn has wanted to get married since she could barely talk… to think how close this day came to not happening just one year, one month and one day before…} For those who have not read the story of God’s miracles in sparing Karl’s life, it can be…

Ruby’s Doctor Appointment

It feels really good to be home. The kids, Dw and I enjoyed the pool last night. True enough the haboob left so much dirt at our home, it was crazy. The cars left in the driveway were covered and it was pooled around the wheels. We could almost shovel it. If…

A Ruby Scare Followed by the Power of Prayer

August 5, 2012 Linny Saunders33 Comments

Ruby woke up today smiling and playing. But after breakfast she went to sleep. Hmmm. A bit odd, I mused, but maybe she’s just plumb wore out. Lunch she wasn’t hungry. And promptly fell asleep again. Okay, now that’s really odd. Then, she suddenly started to make an odd noise. I was actually driving and…

The hotel in Amarillo was wonderful. Kind of funny that after leaving I got a message from a bloggy friend who said that she had gotten a text message from a friend traveling who had sat next to a family at breakfast at the hotel she was staying at. She said that the family had…

Over At Our Home…

I think that sometimes people can look at some one else and say, “They always get everything they want.” And just in case you ever thought that about us, herein lies a story that proves that theory wrong {like many of our stories have already done, but just in case you forgot}. Remember a few…

Part 2 As I begin this very, very vulnerable post let me first please emphasize, again, what I mentioned in Part 1: Out of respect for our openness and vulnerability, if you have not read Part 1 in it’s entirety, then please do so thoroughly before reading this Part 2. Some may wonder why it…
