It’s a sad day when a faith blog needs a legal disclaimer. Nevertheless, here it is.

You are reading this blog because you like encouragement and big sisters. I do, too. However, please note that all information provided on and taken from this site is “at your own risk.” If you do not accept these terms and conditions, you should stop reading this website immediately. If, however, you want more biblical encouragement from someone who just can’t help but attempt to be your big sister, then please don’t leave.
I do reserve the right to change any of these terms and conditions at any time. Since I am a woman, and I like to change my mind frequently and without notice, please check back here for updates.

If any person posts a comment that I deem to be offensive or inappropriate for the subject matter, I will delete it and attempt to ban that person from future comments.
As for the gluten-free recipes, I hope you find them to be yummy, easy ways to avoid gluten in your weekday dinners. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your ingredients fit your dietary needs.

- Reserve Rights
This little website is my corner of the internet. I reserve the right to change the focus of the website or blog, to shut it down entirely, to sell it, or to change the terms of use at my own discretion. That being said, I hope to be here encouraging you for a very, very long time!
- Advertisers and Sponsors
At any point, I may place ads on the site or include affiliate links within blog posts. If you decide to purchase anything through these links, I may receive a small commissions at no extra cost to you. This commission would help me to run this website and focus on my writing goals.
Please note that I am not responsible for the actions of any advertisers or sponsors you see on this site. For example, if you purchase a product of service through one of the ads or a link from my blog, and you experience a problem, you must take action with that company to resolve the issue. I will not be able to assist you.
Occasionally, I will comment about a product or service. It is your responsibility to verify any claim, statistic, quote, or other representation with the manufacturer. Just because I say something is great, it doesn’t mean you’ll agree with me. (And I won’t hold that against you!)
- Letters to Me
I would love to hear from you! If you contact me privately through the Contact Big Sister form, email, or snail mail, I will understand that the communication is intended to be private. If it includes positive feedback regarding a post, a class I taught, etc., then I will ask your permission before sharing it or posting pieces of it online or on social media. If I do post an excerpt, I will not include your full name.
If you publicly post messages, comments, or tweets, then I will understand that these are intended to be public in nature. I may share these so they are more visible to other readers.
