Yesterday was not a banner day for Teri Lynne. In fact, it was whatever the opposite of a banner day would be. I won't go into all the details but let's just say it was a perfect storm of lack of sleep, lack of clear focus, and lack of emotional control. Basically, I was—as we say in the south—a hot mess. I am pretty sure I had every single emotion possible. {It is at this point, you probably start praying for my sweet husband who has to manage the hurricane of said emotions.} This ... [Read More]
Tame the Beast & Trust the Beauty
Can we talk about one of the most important conversations we can have with our teenage daughters? In fact, I believe this one topic can be the most significant one we discuss after salvation. Developing a biblical framework in this one area can radically change every other aspect of our daughter's self-perception and their relationships with others. What is this topic? Tame the Beast & Trust the Beauty My favorite Disney animation has been remade into a live action movie and it ... [Read More]

Do you really believe God is a good, good Father?
You've heard the song, right? Just in case you haven't (or you're like me and LOVE it), here you go ... Do you really believe God is a good, good Father? He is. He can't NOT be. It's inherent in His character to be truly good, in fact, He alone is the embodiment of good. As the song says, "It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are." This morning I read these verses: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone ... [Read More]

Here's the definition: the quality of being religious or reverent. Some of the synonyms for piety include devoutness, devotion, piousness, religion, holiness, godliness, saintliness. 3 Qualities of True Piety We've been studying the book of James in the women's Bible ...

Five Ways to Interact with Scripture
Does anyone remember the old time flannel boards from Sunday school of yore? (I've always wanted to use that word—yore—and I finally did! #smallgoals haha!) So low tech but, man, they were so cool. Almost all my early memories of time spent in church involve carefully arranging pieces of stories like Joseph and his colored robe or Jesus feeding the 5000 onto big boards, green flannel on bottom, blue on top. I didn't know it at the time but those stories were being etched into my heart and mind ... [Read More]
