God Hacks for Living – Part 3
Oh Lawdy. Take a deep breath. We have been talking about Life Hacks and their suggested better ways to do life. Meanwhile, God, because He is so smart, has been dropping some pithy truth bombs that will actually change our life trajectory. Today’s God Hack has to do with being stuck, paralyzed, frozen, or (ouch) […]
God Hacks for Living – Part 2
The ever-popular life hacks offer us new and improved ways to do daily life. However, God digs a little deeper to shape and correct us from the inside out. Lately, He has been giving me these pithy phrases. I call them God Hacks. And unlike the life hacks, these phrases make me stand up and […]
God Hacks for Living – Part 1
Do you get sucked into the Life Hack videos? I sure do. From cooking to planting to storage, all these slick memes and reels show me an extraordinary way to do my ordinary life. But here’s the catch. I may watch them but do I actually do them? Real talk, I hardly remember the new […]
What are you waiting for?
Are you in the middle of a waiting period? You have a promise, word, or dream and you think you have done all you can to make it happen…and yet that very thing is still out of reach. Yeah, me too. Houses, cars, babies, money, marriages, jobs, friends, you name it. We have all been […]
Wisdom from the Upside Down Kingdom

Faith to Faith
How do we get more faith? It might be easier than you think and yet much more costly. Before you check this box, listen to my story. I sat across the table from a prophet the other day. We came to celebrate a mutual friend who had told me about her crazy friend […]
Open the Flow
I may be late to the party but I have lived my whole life without an irrigation system for my yard. I have lived in lots of places in lots of houses, but none of them required a dedicated irrigation system. A move to sunny Florida changed all that. You can imagine my surprise when […]
Strong Water
There is an essence of a Woman —God-ordained actually. Even if you don’t believe in God, there is an unmistakable quality of a woman that goes far beyond body parts and hormones. A woman is a life-giver. Hear me. Not just a baby maker. But a Life-Giver. For decades, I have been on a deep […]
When Truth Turns Into a Tripwire
We are living in tricksy days. People use phrases about “my truth,” or “what feels true to you.” And while I freely acknowledge that it comes from a heart of compassion, I still want to either vomit or hit a loud, warning buzzer. My truth? Your truth? What even… Truth is to be discovered and […]
