A brilliant short read, check out Sarah Ladipo Manyika's novella, Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun. We follow Dr. Morayo through what aging, community, and independence means while indulging in the world of a retired literature professor with an appreciation for African art and history.

The Fine Art of Lying completely immerses you in the story’s world. I explore and "visit" new places from my couch. Swipe to see some visual rabbit holes this book sent me down: •Henri Matisse •Catherine Opie •Ed Ruscha •Prudence Peiffer •Betye Saar 🖼️…and so much more. #booksky #fineart #reading

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other. That really resonated.

Here is how a visual learner tracks a complex fantasy plot. Check out this sample character relationship web tracker I designed. Thoughts?

If you can’t remember character names three chapters in, you aren't a bad reader. You're likely a visual learner. #Booksky #Litsky #ReadersCorner

Unpopular opinion: Traditional reading journals are boring. Writing down just the title, author, and a star rating tells you nothing about how your brain actually processed the story. #Booksky #Litsky #ReadersCorner

It was definitely a fun, quick and easy read. I like the author’s writing style, but didn’t care for the main characters.

Lu💞✨ @lulabrook.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Same here, but I was able to enjoy it because I liked the authors writing style. Didn’t like any of the characters, but I enjoyed being introduced to certain pieces of art and reminded of old NYC art history.

Lord Jesus, give every Chicago pastor the courage to step into their pulpits tomorrow and proclaim to their people, "There is STILL a word of God for the people of God."

The president, speaking at Charlie Kirk's memorial, said, "I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them," and we'd better believe him. But don't picture the Democratic party, the never-Trumpers, or the courts opposing his authoritarian tactics when you imagine the president's opponents. 1/

If this country can elect a felon to the highest office, then don’t tell me a person with a record can’t get a job/go to school. The hypocrisy shows who this system is designed to protect. When the man in power is a criminal, it’s called politics. But when your neighbor is a felon, throw them away.

If we’re serious about freedom, then we have to use the most powerful weapon we already control, our money. Stop wasting it on things we don’t need. Spend only on what’s essential. And make sure every dollar stays in our own community, building us up instead of building up the people who oppress us.

Singleness is not a flaw to explain, it's a gift to steward. You are not single because____. You are not in a holding pattern; not an unfinished story; not waiting for a partner to complete your worth. You are seated with Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit, and hidden in God.

God doesn’t give us His Word to make us feel better. He gives us His Word to make us holy, formed, faithful, even when it hurts, even when nothing changes externally.

When we speak Scripture while brushing walking or folding laundry, and expect an emotional shift or breakthrough right after, it's unintentionally saying: “This verse is a lever. I’m pulling it so God will move now.” That’s not wielding the sword. That’s using the sword like a vending machine.

Lu💞✨ @lulabrook.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

God’s Word is not a mood enhancer. It’s a revelation of who He is, meant to form us, not fix us on demand. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4, NASB1995) Bread isn’t for emotional highs. It’s for sustaining life.

God is most concerned with us being shaped by His word more than the world and the things of it. So His will for our lives is always formation to holiness and Christlikeness than fortune or whatever our personal ideas of success are.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the mirror. Your spiritual gifts are not your identity. Your identity is: • child of God • loved, • chosen, • adopted, • beloved • redeemed, • sealed in Christ. Your gifts are how you humbly serve others from that unearned identity.

Lu💞✨ @lulabrook.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

‪Let the text master you in step with the Holy Spirit. ‬ ‪Ask:‬ ‪• What did this reveal about God?‬ ‪• What in me resists this?‬ ‪• How does Jesus fulfill this?‬ ‪• How does God want me to respond?‬ ‪Ask the Lord to help you. This builds a Holy Spirit-disciplined mind, guarded from delusion.‬

The devil is a better theologian than most Christians. He knows the Word. But he hates its Author. Don’t just read the Bible for knowledge, submit to it. Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is living and active… discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

Lu💞✨ @lulabrook.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

If your reading of Scripture fuels pride, self-reliance, control, selfishness, anxiety or despair, it’s not the Holy Spirit. It’s flesh in theological language.
