What can I say about an event that involves Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson except you know you'll laugh! This year's dotMOM conference was fabulous! It's been a few years since I have been able to attend dotMOM and I was very excited to go this year with some of the ladies from our church. For those who don't know, dotMOM is a Lifeway|Women event and is my favorite non-writing conference to attend. This year's platform speakers included both Melanie and Sophie and one of my favorite ... [Read More]
What I’m Reading {September 2015}
Hi all! Since several of you liked last month's update about what I'm reading, I thought I'd share again this month. I did finish a couple of books and will {eventually} get real reviews written. But mostly, this month, I've been a slow reader of non-fiction. {Most of these links are affiliate links which simply means if you purchase through them I will receive a small commission which I will use to buy more books.} The Power of Persistence: Breakthroughs in Your Prayer Life by Michael ...

Be Generous with Grace
Grace: the unmerited favor of God; receiving that which we don't deserve. We can’t do enough or be good enough or live well enough to earn the grace God has given. It’s why verses like this mean much to us as believers: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Not from ourselves. Not of ourselves. Not through ourselves. It isn’t about us at all. Grace is entirely ... [Read More]
Busy but Good
Y'all ... I cannot believe I have not written anything for over two weeks. It isn't because I haven't wanted to or had things to say {seriously, I always have something to say! LOL}. Life has just been busy. And you know, I'm not apologizing for that anymore, right? I'm good ... the busy is good. I'm doing the stuff that matters, the most important stuff. But I miss being here in this space. So I promise to be back here with regular content soon {more about that below}. Even though I'm ... [Read More]
Yes, I Read My Daughter’s Texts {and no, it isn’t because I don’t trust her}
Yes, I am that mom. Every night, I read my daughter's texts and log into her social media accounts to look at the direct messages and friends lists. I am the one who "stalks" anyone on those lists I don't know. I am the mom who knew about Yik Yak two days before a student used it to make a bomb threat at my daughter's school because I was checking texts. One of my girl's friends said to her mom, "Mrs. Teri Lynne knows everything. She might even know before it happens." As much as I'd ... [Read More]
