A Small Still Voice: May 2012
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Special kids on RR! Ok, have to spotlight four special kids from Reece's Rainbow. Please look at these sweethearts and help find their forever families! Newly listed on RR! Let's find their families! Sticks and stones can break my bones. What kind of impression are they giving to everyone around them? The point is, it looks nice and fresh now, ready to have some grass seed planted, a firepit made. But we know what's under that. And it's not pretty. Monday, May 21, 2012. Got an old ...

A Small Still Voice: July 2012
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Quick matching grant for the Rogers! Family is on their way to finally go meet Bernadette and Mason! There is a matching $450 grant opening up tonight for the Rogers! It will run through midnight, August 1st, so anything you can donate will be doubled. They still need about $3000 to be considered fully funded, and it would be so awesome to be able to tell them to relax, enjoy their new son and daughter, and not to worry about how they pay for the remainder of their expenses! I foun...

A Small Still Voice: June 2012
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2012. Life ain't always beautiful. Life ain't always beautiful. Sometimes it's just plain hard. Life can knock you down, it can break your heart. Life ain't always beautiful. You think you're on your way. And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day. But the struggles make you stronger. And the changes make you wise. And happiness has its own way of takin' its sweet time. No, life ain't always beautiful. Tears will fall sometimes. Life ain't always beautiful. Why do I say that?

A Small Still Voice: Full circle
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012/09/full-circle.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Back in late February when I first saw Sam's picture and we started our adoption journey, I would never have dreamed the twists and turns that would happen. In case you haven't been following along, here's the Reader's Digest Condensed Version:. So now we were committed to both boys! But then we had the worst news possible. Sam's birthday was coming up, and our homestudy still wasn't finished. Tears and Prayers. And The Stokes family for Sam. We prayed constantly for them and ...

A Small Still Voice: So what if it's another life?
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012/11/so-what-if-its-another-life.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. So what if it's another life? It's one thing to honestly (if mistakenly) believe that a baby isn't a baby until a certain age. That's bad enough, and something I just don't get. If you get pregnant, there's only one choice of what you will give birth to. It will be a baby, a human child, no other options that I've ever heard of. Have you ever asked a pregnant woman what she's going to have? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). So what if its another life? A Christmas Sled Upcycle.

A Small Still Voice: My two favorite RR kids
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-two-favorite-rr-kids.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. My two favorite RR kids. Not long after I did this blog post (like within a couple of hours! Dayna showed up on My Family Found Me! So happy for her family! It takes a while for a child to show up on that part of the website, so that means her family has been working on this for probably a few weeks. I am just tickled to death, and if her family does a blog, I will be sure and link to it so we can all follow her journey home and help out with fundraisers! Spend their lives in ...

Thursday, March 22, 2012. I hadn't changed the name of our blog from eight down to seven mortons, because someone was missing! God knew that someone was Duncan. He will be such a blessing to our family. With the support of his brothers and sisters (we'll now have three boys and three girls! He will be able to build his confidence, see that his physical limitations have nothing to do with how much he is loved, and have opportunities he has only dreamed of. Please keep us in your prayers!

A Small Still Voice: A Life Worth Living
http://eightmortons.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-life-worth-living.html
Thursday, September 13, 2012. A Life Worth Living. Let's just say it would be a good thing you were where you were. Mom and Sally were horrifed at first that they had done this, but couldn't help but laugh at the thought. Sally tried to scold Josh and his friend, but she was laughing so hard she couldn't hardly do it. What will your legacy be? What will they say about you at your funeral? Will your family have the comfort Sally's family has, of knowing she is truly at peace and without pain? September 13...
