Simply Love: August 2014
http://simplylove127.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Our friends have spent their lives caring and loving on these children who have been cast aside and need a family. Our prayer is to be able to bless them and the work they are doing by raising awareness and funds to help care for the orphans. And just maybe God will move in your heart and call you to adopt or pray for one of these precious treasures. :). Sunday, August 17, 2014. I have a friend. Her name is Marjorie St. John. She had to have a serious, emergency surgery this past week. And I thought of t...

Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The God-Shaped Vacuum - Part 4. In the Fall of 2011, I was a keynote speaker at our church’s Ladies’ Retreat.

This and the following posts are this same talk with minimal modifications. A attended the retreat and said it’s what she’s heard her whole life. May you find this information as familiar. Because you all have addictions as well. It is a large...

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Had a few photos taken this last weekend. When we first bought the M&M's T's we did not know that Mars was moving to Topeka. I just happened to run across the shirts in Wally World and thought.we have five girls, there are five colors.jackpot! So the photos were taken before we found out. Then Mars moved to Topeka and they had a M&M's store in downtown Topeka for a month. That store was hopping busy! The girls were real excited to have Royals shirts. Wednesday, October 8, 2014.

Raising Sunflowers: September 2014
http://porknbeansinchina.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 5, 2014. Lifeline is going to ask that question for us and they are also going to tell the C3WA that the child we dissolved has been legally adopted here in the USA by a family who love her very much! The Lifeline person agrees with me. If you disrupt your adoption in China and leave the child there you CAN go back and adopt again. That is SO DUMB! OkayI felt that God had put me in her life for a reason and that reason was NOT to leave her in China! I wish we could bring them home!
