I’m just gonna be honest—Duke Energy’s so-called “smart” AI billing system almost had me paying for something I didn’t even use. When I saw my electric bill jump from my usual amount to nearly $400, I thought, “There’s no way this is right.” I double-checked the meter readings, compared previous bills, and even looked at my usage chart. Everything told me the same thing—it didn’t add up. If I hadn’t taken the time to actually look through it, I would’ve just paid the amount assuming Duke Energy’s AI knew what it was doing. That’s what they tell you, right? “Our automated system calculates everything for accuracy.” But when I called customer service and pointed it out, the agent looked at my account and literally said, “Oh, my bad, I see the mistake.” Like it was no big deal! No big deal? That’s a few hundred dollars we’re talking about! What if I was someone living paycheck to paycheck? What if I was elderly and didn’t understand how to check all this? They would’ve just overcharged me and gone about their day. This is the kind of thing that makes me lose trust in these companies that rely too heavily on artificial intelligence. We’ve reached a point where AI is running billing systems, customer service chats, and even payment processing—and yet, it can’t tell the difference between a normal electric bill and a glitch that adds a few hundred extra bucks? That’s not innovation. That’s negligence dressed up as “technology.” The thing that really bothers me is how casual the human response was. When

Let me tell you something, family — it’s so important to know the voice of Jezebel, because if you don’t, she’ll have you second-guessing yourself, your calling, and even your faith. Jezebel isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes she comes through that quiet voice in your head that says you’re not good enough, that everyone has done you wrong, or that God didn’t come through for you like He said He would. That’s her favorite game — planting seeds of doubt and confusion until you start questioning your worth and your walk with God.

When people are coming to Christ, there has to be a different way you treat them. You can’t talk to people any type of way and then expect them to want to draw closer to God. Too often, I see folks who claim they’re “speaking truth,” but what they’re really doing is tearing people down. You can’t plant a seed in bad soil. If your tone is judgmental and your words are sharp, that’s not love — that’s pride wrapped up in religion.
Everyone’s walk looks different. Some people are still learning, some are still struggling, and that’s okay. God never called us to be perfect before we came to Him. He just said, “Come.” But when someone finally builds up the courage to take that step, the last thing they need is to be made to feel less than. That kind of treatment pushes people away from the very grace they’re seeking.

God ministered something powerful to me today. He said, “It’s okay to be lost, because that’s how I found you.” That hit me deep, because we live in a world that makes you feel ashamed for not having it all together. But the truth is — being lost doesn’t mean you’re hopeless. Sometimes it means you’re in position for God to show up and guide you home. See, God is the Perfector of building. He takes what’s broken and builds it better than before. Just because someone had a bad start doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to end. You might have grown up in pain, confusion, or sin, but that’s not your final story. God specializes in taking what looks ruined and turning it into something beautiful. He’s like a master carpenter — every flaw, every crack, every uneven edge, He sees it all. But instead of throwing you away, He says, “Let Me fix it.” Just like a piece of furniture that’s been scratched and worn, He sands us down, polishes our hearts, and strengthens our foundation. We go through the process not because He’s punishing us, but because He’s perfecting us. Sometimes that fixing hurts. Sometimes it’s lonely. But if we let Him work, the same God who found us in our lostness will raise us in His likeness. You are not too far gone. You are not too broken. You are exactly where He can reach you.

Alright y’all, let’s talk about this Keith Thurman and Sebastian Fundora situation because something just ain’t sitting right. Keith Thurman just hopped on YouTube, explaining that their upcoming fight got postponed — possibly into next year — because Fundora supposedly injured his hand. Now, look, I’ve been watching Thurman for a long time, and I couldn’t help but notice how familiar this story sounds.
Let me take y’all back a little bit. Remember when Keith himself had to pull out of a fight years ago because of a bicep injury? Same setup. He was training, supposedly got hurt, had to go through surgery, and then the whole thing got postponed. Now, here we are again, but this time it’s on the other side — Fundora’s side. What are the odds?
The fight was supposed to go down in October, but when you listen to Thurman talk, it feels like there’s more to it. He’s being real careful with his words. He said Fundora pulled out because of his hand injury, and that’s why the fight is being rescheduled. But let’s be honest, there’s another angle here that nobody’s talking about — ticket sales. Reports been going around that the fight wasn’t doing the numbers it needed to do. No buzz, no hype, no demand.
Now, think about it: if you’re Keith Thurman, who already had critics saying you’re washed up and past your prime, do you really want to take that kind of hit? You go in there, take a loss against a younger fighter like Fundora, and your career might be done for good. So what’s the next best move? You pull out before it happens, save face, and let the story be about an “injury” instead of a bad performance.
See, this ain’t new in boxing. Fighters pull out all the time when things don’t line up right. Sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s injuries, sometimes it’s politics behind the scenes. And sometimes, it’s a business decision. I’m not saying Keith is lying — maybe Fundora really did hurt his hand. But the timing is way too convenient.
Let’s look at the business side for a second. Boxing today is all about narratives and pay-per-view sales. If a fight isn’t selling, promoters start panicking. Nobody wants to take a loss on a big event. So what do they do? They hit the brakes, call it an “injury,” and push it back until they can build more buzz. Maybe they throw in some drama to get fans talking again. Because controversy sells more than the fight itself half the time.

John 8:44 describes the devil as “a liar and the father of lies.” When you watch leaders twist truth, deny facts, and manipulate faith itself to keep control, you see that verse in motion. Lying has become the new language of politics. Deception has become its currency. But God’s economy doesn’t run on deception — it runs on truth, and truth always wins.

I’m not even kidding when I say this — I am literally lost for words. I went on the Uber Eats app today just to treat myself to something simple. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top — just a box of donuts. I figured I’d grab half a dozen from Krispy Kreme, something light and sweet to go with my coffee. But when I tell you my jaw dropped at the total, I mean it hit the floor. Six donuts, y’all. Six. The total came up to $15.99 before any taxes, fees, or tips. I stared at that screen for a good minute thinking maybe I accidentally added two boxes. Nope. Just one. Now, I get it — inflation is real. Everything has gone up: groceries, gas, rent, you name it. But donuts? Donuts too? This is getting ridiculous. When did it become normal for six glazed circles of dough to cost nearly $16? I can remember when you could walk into Krispy Kreme and get a whole dozen for around $8 or $9, maybe $10 if you added some fancy ones. Now, it feels like you need a small loan just to satisfy a sugar craving. And here’s the real kicker — after the $15.99 for the donuts, Uber Eats slapped on the taxes, a delivery fee, and of course, the service fee that they sneak in like it’s small change. Add all that up and suddenly, your $15 donuts are now creeping up to nearly $25 by the time you hit “Place Order.” I’m sorry, but that’s outrageous. We’re talking about half a dozen donuts that probably cost them less than a dollar to make. Let’s just break it down for a second. Krispy Kreme gets their ingredients in bulk, so the cost of sugar, flour, and oil is low for them. They’re not handcrafting pastries with gold flakes and imported cocoa. They’re frying dough and glazing it. I love Krispy Kreme just as much as anyone else, but $25 for six donuts after fees? I can’t justify that, no matter how light and fluffy they are. And you know what’s crazy? I can’t even be mad at Uber Eats alone. The whole system is broken. Tariffs, rising costs, fuel surcharges — all of it is trickling down to the consumer. Businesses are struggling, so they raise their prices. The delivery apps want their cut, so they tack on more fees. The government gets its share with taxes. And at the end of the day, it’s us — the regular people just trying to get something to eat — who end up paying double what something is worth. It’s sad because it used to be that ordering through Uber Eats was a convenience. You paid a few extra dollars for the luxury of not leaving your house. Now, that “convenience” is practically a punishment. You’re paying restaurant-level prices for fast food — and not even the full meal, just dessert! Imagine trying to get a dozen donuts now — you’re easily looking at $30 before fees. That’s absurd. What really gets me is how numb people are becoming to it. We’ve gotten so used to seeing inflated prices that no one even blinks anymore. But I can’t sit here and normalize this. It’s donuts today, but what’s next? $20 for a burger? $10 for a small fry? We’re already halfway there. At this point, I might as well get up, drive to Krispy Kreme myself, and save the extra $10 to put toward gas — though even that’s expensive now. But it makes more sense than letting these apps nickel-and-dime us over basic food. We’re in a place where luxury has disguised itself as convenience, and most people are too tired to fight it. Something’s got to give. Either these companies need to rethink their pricing models, or people are going to stop ordering altogether. Because if I’m paying $25 for six donuts, I expect them to come with a lifetime supply of glaze, a handwritten thank-you note, and maybe a sermon about how to budget through the apocalypse. This is beyond inflation — it’s robbery disguised as convenience.

Man, let me tell y’all something real quick because this right here has been heavy on me, and I know somebody else out there needs to hear it too. When you start fasting, praying, and really trying to break those generational curses off your life—when you start saying, “Enough is enough,” and you start reclaiming your peace—people around you will start acting strange. I’m talking about folks you never had issues with, people who used to smile in your face, suddenly getting slick with you, looking for ways to test your patience. That’s when you know the spiritual shift is happening. Now, I ain’t one to call names or try to be disrespectful, but this week showed me something. I work for the city of Gulfport, and I’ve been doing what I’m supposed to do. I clock in, I handle my job, and I mind my business. I answer to my earthly boss because that’s who signs my paycheck—but my real boss, the one I truly answer to, is God. See, He never changes up. He don’t switch His mood on you or send you messages out of pocket. He’s consistent. So when I tell you that the devil tries to use people once you start leveling up spiritually, believe me, it’s true. Let me rewind this a bit. Back on September 16th, me and a coworker moved some tables for my boss because she asked us to—simple as that. They had a class the next day, so we did what needed to be done. That was it. Since then, we haven’t moved a single table for those Tuesday and Thursday classes. Not once. I’ve worked multiple nights since then, and every time, the tables were already in place. No reason to move them. Everything smooth. Fast forward to this week—out of the blue, my boss texts me. No “Hello,” no “Hope all’s well,” nothing like that. Just straight to the point: “Why did you guys move the tables last night? I can see you didn’t have any kids, so you must not have been doing anything.” I had to pause right there because that kind of message? That’s not how you talk to somebody who shows up, does their job, and respects their workplace. That’s not how you talk to somebody who carries themselves with integrity and fear of God. First off, it’s not even true. We didn’t move no tables. Second, why would you assume we weren’t doing anything? Just because the room was quiet or because you didn’t see kids doesn’t mean we weren’t being productive. It’s like people can’t stand when you’re operating in peace. They want to stir something up because that’s the only way the enemy gets in. And this is where I know the spiritual warfare is real. The moment you start getting closer to God, He starts pruning people out your life. And sometimes He don’t even have to remove them physically—He’ll just show you their spirit. He’ll reveal that attitude, that jealousy, that unnecessary tension. It’s like He’s saying, “See? This is what you’ve been dealing with. Now stay focused on Me.” When I read that text, I could’ve snapped back. I could’ve said something smart or disrespectful, but I didn’t. I took a breath, prayed about it, and said, “Lord, you see what’s going on. Handle it.” Because honestly, no battle fought in the flesh ever gets you anywhere. You can’t out-talk or out-argue someone being used by a spirit. You just gotta stand firm and let God defend your name. What’s wild is, before I started fasting and praying more, stuff like that would’ve ruined my whole day. I would’ve been irritated, venting to everybody, trying to prove I was right. But now? I see it differently. It’s a test. God’s checking if you’ve really grown. If you say you’re walking in His peace, He’ll let a situation like that rise up to see if you really mean it. So yeah, I still got my job. I still show respect. But now, I’m moving differently. I realize not everyone’s going to understand the spiritual side of your walk. Some people will take your calmness as weakness, your silence as guilt, or your obedience as something to question. But you keep walking with God. Because when your real boss is the Almighty, no earthly boss can shake you. And for anybody else going through something like this—at work, at home, even in church—just know, when you start breaking curses, the devil gets nervous. He’ll send confusion, misunderstandings, and offense to distract you. But keep your head high. Stay prayed up. Remember who you work for. Because I promise you, when God promotes you, nobody can text that away.

I want to share this word really quick with y'all because I don't really think y'all really understand what's going on right now. Listen, I have been given a word and this word has been in my spirit and I've been saying the same thing. I know it sounds so repetitive, but I feel like Noah. Oh, thank you, Lord. I feel like Noah right now when Noah was actually trying to get a word out and saying the government can't save you and your money will be no good.
Listen, all these people out here, all these politicians talking about, “oh, well, we lower the cost, lower the cost, we got to lower the cost.” They're saying craziness. At the end of the day, I know what the Lord told me. I know what the Lord said to me. The Lord told me that the government will not be able to save you and your money will be no good.
