Rise to Meet the Waves
On this Good Friday, I found myself joining Hawaiian elders before 6:00 a.m. for an ocean side meditation. They spoke of the sacred, about how The Spirit is waiting for us to come back to Him—to ourselves—to the earth. Caught up in the world, we lose touch with our spiritual selves and mute The Spirit’s […]

Killer Instincts
I met a guy! Just this week! The moment we met, he commandeered my heart, mind, and soul. Then he started shaking things up, and demanded a meet with my Chief. Never one to like being told what to do, I resisted the idea, till I learned more about him. Turns out, we have a […]
Let the Past Sleep, and Go Out Into the Irresistible Future with Him. -Oswald Chambers

The sense of the irreparable is apt to make us despair, […]
God Calling-excerpt by AJ Russell-with my own little Wisconsin twist
Dream on…
Dreams matter. What is your dream? What do you most hope for in your life? What would you do if you knew you could not fail? We all need dreams, hopes, and goals—reasons to get out of bed in the morning—something that makes our hearts sing. What are yours? Have you thought about them lately? […]
What’s Your Sign?
Don’t worry, I’m not the type to go around asking strangers for a light, or encourage them to tell me their astrological signs. And while I’d like to tell you that God goes before me with a pillar of clouds by day, and a pillar of fire by night, God’s leading in my life is […]

Maui Is My Muse
I’ve just returned from Maui—my go to place for non-stop writing, punctuated by midnight swims, early morning hot tubs, and fresh pineapple on the beach watching the first bold rays of the sun. Maui was my gift to myself, and to Sacrificial Basins, book 3 in my Murder with a Message series. Maui inspires me, […]
