The Battle Cry

Linny Saunders9 Comments

As horrific storms have been ravishing our nation, death tolls rising and grief abounding, I’ve been thinking. Some who stop by our Place have been struggling with the terrible storms, or a tragic medical diagnosis, a sudden job loss, a seemingly immovable and very mountainous situation in your adoption, a financial blow, a relational trauma,…

Taking the Plunge

I wonder how many people wait until the last possible minute to do something? What is it about that? Time is running out and people seem to be dilly-dallying and suddenly, just at the last possible second they swoop in and swoosh{!} do what needs to be done! I confess I am not an early…

Together they talked and decided it was…

He Will Do This

Yesterday as Dw and I were talking about a current  situation we have been walking through, suddenly the Lord brought this story to mind. So I reminded that sweet man of mine about it  and in recounting the story again we both were greatly encouraged. It is so good to tell each other the stories…

There’s about to be a gathering together  of a sweet pile of precious gems…. and these little gems are going to be  in need of some very fun therapy tools… Mind you, this is definitely not my area of expertise,  however, being Ruby’s mommy I am learning a few terms from her therapies  and some…
