Thanks for your comment, Words4FaithPeep. I appreciate your stopping by the blog. Agreed, pride is never a good guide in decision making. I pray the Lord will guide this couple you mentioned and that our church will get another chance to love on them in Jesus Name.
Tattoo or Taboo?
Ok! Here Goes. I'm diving right in to what is a very sensitive and controversial subject, even among my own family members. The question is: should christians get tattoos? Let me preface my remarks here. This is a blog featuring my humble opinions and is not meant to cast judgement o...
Megan, You are a treasure. I love the trophy of grace you have become! I LOL'd about the stretchy tats! Thanks for your comments and for just being YOU!

Ginger, I am so thankful that my posts are connecting. Thank you for your time and your feedback. I absolutely encourage you to use blogging to get your story out there. Don't let fear of confrontation keep you from shining light on God's activity in your world! I personally would love to hear what you have to say! Just keep a finger on the delete key;) XO Lori
Cyber Boundaries: Navigating the blurred lines of Social Media
It seems like once a week I threaten to quit facebook. I am in shock at all the drama. But wait, I need that platform. I have to be able to stalk my kids and share with my out of town family. I need to be able to share my blog posts. I need to be able to communicate with the groups I'm ...
Bo, My post never states that I believe in "allowing people to feel comfortable with what the bible defines as unnatural". I was saying that what we are all born with is a sin nature (Romans 8:8). Individuals who struggle with temptations and feelings of same sex attraction are no different than people like you or me who struggle with other desires contrary to holiness when we walk according to the flesh instead of the spirit. My post was pointing out that for many, it is a life long struggle and there should be a place for them to bring it, confess it and find support to turn from it in God's house. I want this for all of us, godly discipleship as the Spirit sanctifies, whatever the struggle.
You could not be more wrong about Biltmore or its leaders. By God's grace and for His glory, over 500 have responded to the gospel and been saved and baptized at Biltmore in the past 9 months. We love as Christ first loved us with truth and grace. Lori Frank
Compassion Without Compromise
No other subset of sin hurts like sexual sin. It profanes the spirit, mind and body in an exquisitely intimate and intensely brutal way. As the fleeting pleasure or release of tension leaks away, it leaves only the empty shell and broken pieces of our hearts. Our enemy burns us with our o...
Yes, Rabraswell! I am so glad that this post resonated with you and I am praying for you to continue to be encouraged and to find those connections and meaningful friendships. You are not alone:)
Women's Ministry and the day I forgot my Bible and my Baby
It was a long time ago, but I remember being a young wife of 27, with 2 preschool aged boys to raise and trying to find my nitch in ministry. I had been so blessed to have found salvation and true love. But now I was trying to find friends. I showed up at our church's women's Bible study. ...
Be careful Mary or you'll be hooked on these videos like me:) Glad you joined me today and hope you'll be back!
What's In My Purse?
Hello my friends! Today's post is on the light side and just for the fun of it. I am loving all the "What's in my purse" videos on YouTube. So, I thought it would be fun to post one too. The purse is such a feminine domain. Wouldn't it be horrible to be limited to only being able to carry ...
Sandra, you are such an encourager... I adore you!

Hi ADamnGoodRead, I'm so blessed that you shared your feelings with me. Believe me you are in the pure purvival phase of motherhood. It does get better but you can feel like you are drowning, I know. Please continue to talk to God. Read Bible stories with the kids. Ask God for an older friend to help you and be there for you. Ask Him to help you make it to church, even if you have to pace in the back. For those days when it just won't work to be with other believers in a local church setting, I would love for you to attend our online campus from you home. http://www.biltmorebaptist.org is the link. just click online campus. We broadcast Sunday at 9:15 and 11 as well as Thursday night at 7PM. Please know I'm praying for you. Talk to your doctor. Talk to a friend. And know you are normal and that one day you will be rewarded for all you do;) Love those babies and everything else will work itself out. Keep checking in for some sweet tea, Love and big hugs, Lori
When God's Girls Get The Blahs
Hi friends, Got a new post for you today in the form of a vlog chat. I uploaded them in two pieces so they would process quicker. But our topic today is one I'm hoping you will give me grace on. You may not relate at all... or you may have experienced the same struggles and rejoice to see...
Hey Sandra! Thanks for stopping by for some sweet tea and leaving a comment! I was looking at the pureology the other day and wondering how it was! I'll have to try it... I've heard how fantastic everything is from CAbi too:) Nothing like a fabulous pair of jeans that fit! Love ya, Lori
5 Items Worth Splurging On
Today's blogitty-blog is just for fun! I just wanted to share some love for some products I'm using and loving. These are items that are worth the extra investment because I use them almost everyday and they meet a need. So I don't mind spending a little extra to get the value. I have outgrow...
I love it "D"! I hate those aches and pains for you... I guess it's part of life. Glad you are not letting it slow you down. I love that you can see the young face in the mirror! That is the mark of true maturity, not just age;))) Thanks for sharing.
Wrinkles and All
I'm on the backside of my 40's now, but I still feel like a 20 year old. Well, that is, until I spend some time with some actual 20 year olds. 20-somethings dominate the makeup of the crossfit bootcamp I'm attending. I can't compete. They treat me like the mascot or the team mom. Even so, I...
Thank You "Bo". I'm glad to see that you are a frequent visitor for some sweet tea;) With no disrespect at all intended, this post was written a little tongue-in-cheek but the message remains that Jesus in all His perfection did engage His culture fully at the time. I am grateful for your warning against the traps of Narcisim in building a platform and will ask the Lord to keep my feet on the path of humilty. Sincerely, Lori
Jesus Would Have Tweeted
Never has there ever been a better leader than Jesus. He called, men answered. He practiced what He preached. He offered relationship not just a product. He was loyal. He raised expectations. He inspired greatness. He was sacrificial. He set boundaries. He delivered even more than p...
What beautiful words my friend! We should all preach them to ourselves daily. I know these words will bless many of us who tend to be harder on ourselves than anyone else. So grateful for Grace, plentiful and new every morning! Great Post!
Plenty
Plenty...that's quite a word. More than enough is what I think of. "Do you need more?" "Oh no, thank you, I have plenty." Plenty...enough, satisfied, content, overflowing, abundance. Rarely do I feel I have plenty. Not enough time, not enough storage in my "quaint home", not enough money, not eno...
