Leftover Kid

By Marty Walden · 6 Comments

For the last few weeks, even months possibly, we have been struggling with our daughter S. She has given us so many moments of delight and she is quite firmly attached. But something has been off. She has had an edge to her, the typical teenage attitude, which is not typical at our house. We work extremely hard when our… Read More

List #11: The small, medium, and amazing things that happened throughout your week: That’s an easy list because it was Orlando time!

The Sound of Laughter

By Marty Walden · 5 Comments

I had this post started several weeks ago. Then I deleted it. And waited. You see, my youngest two were in a good place together a few weeks ago. For a short while.

My Story

By Marty Walden · 5 Comments

I was saved when I was 11 and baptized at the same time as my brother. It was probably appropriate that I was saved at a Truth concert at our church because music has always been an important part of my life.

I have been so touched and saddened by the Reactive Attachment Disorder blogs I have read lately. The struggles and absolute heartache are quite evident.
