  • Watching Paint dry. Unless…

    Watching Paint dry. Unless…

    What bores you? What bores me? Watching paint dry—yep, the ultimate snooze-fest. It’s not just the glacial pace; it’s being stuck, twiddling my thumbs, while that wet bum holds my whole day hostage. Sometimes everything’s on ice, waiting for it to “dry,” and other times I’m fighting the urge to poke it like a moron—just

  • Drinking the Kool-aide

    Drinking the Kool-aide

    “The Kool-Aid.” Not because it’s my actual favorite, but because, let’s be honest—we’ve all taken a sip. At some point, we’ve blindly bought into an idea, a cause, or a relationship, ignoring every neon warning sign flashing BAD IDEA. And oh, did I drink. Sometimes I just got queasy, other times, it was a full-on

  • “Good Vibes, No Wrecking Balls: Choosing the Right Company”

    I like being around people who build you up instead of tearing you down(1Thes. 5:11-24, 1Peter 5:8)—basically, the human equivalent of a good contractor, not a wrecking ball. That list changes day to day (because, let’s be honest, some people wake up and choose chaos), but at its core, it’s my closest friends (3), my

  • “Steps of Farewell, Stained with Love”

    Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. I have a pair of black, smooth, wing-tip shoes—gloves of leather, fitting as if made just for me. They have carried me through moments both heavy and light, walking my two daughters down two aisles, step by measured step, toward new lives,

  • Love of God via Jesus

    Love of God via Jesus

    Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. The greatest gift I’ve ever received is God’s love through Jesus. Honestly, I don’t think I can fully comprehend the depth of this gift, but I experience its beauty, strength, and grace every day. What makes it even more incredible is that it never runs out—I

  • Go For Broke

    Go For Broke

    “Ballin’ on a Countdown: The Fine Art of Going Broke Strategically” Another version of this game is called Die Broke—same strategy, different branding. The idea is simple: when you die, you should have nothing left. Makes sense, right? You can’t take it with you, so why not spend it all while you’re here? The trick,

  • “Proud to Cheer for the USA—On and Off the Field”

    Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Are you patriotic? Absolutely. To me, patriotism means supporting and celebrating my country in every way possible—especially in something as pure and unifying as sports. Football (soccer) is the most popular game in the world, with 3.5 billion fans, and I always want the USA

  • “Accidentally a Criminal? Asking for a Friend.”

    Umm… I don’t know? Because if I did, wouldn’t that mean it was intentional? Wait, what? And now I’m spiraling down a philosophical rabbit hole. So… yes. I mean, no. Actually, that’s a hard no. (I think.)

  • chess with Jesus and roof repairs

    At my sweet age, my dad had already been playing chess with Jesus for over a year. When he wasn’t locked in celestial strategy, he was probably tinkering with something that needed fixing—a gate, a harp, or whatever heavenly tool required a bit of fine-tuning. Meanwhile, my mom? You’d find her on top of the
