#483 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, January 23, 2023 This from my quiet time: “It is not the place we occupy which is important, but the direction in which we move.” –Oliver Wendell Holmes
My life is not really a journey unless I have a destination and am moving purposefully toward it–otherwise I am just wandering.

#484 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, November 4, 2023 I had my six month check-up today and there is nothing wrong with me. A friend of mine died recently shortly after he learned he had cancer. At my age, death is a reality that is always hovering around. I don’t fear death but the thought of suffering makes me uncomfortable. I am reminded of a post I did almost a year ago: God spoke to me about death today. He said He expected me to trust Him to have me prepared for that event.

#485 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, December 18, 2023 Another light bulb verse: “For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.” (Galatians 5:5) This tells me I am involved in a process–the inward journey. It tells me there’s a goal–a new, improved me. And it tells me that I’m not driving the bus. Lead on, Holy Spirit.

Friday, November 25, 2022 An amazing coincidence (I don’t believe in spiritual coincidences): A christian friend responded to my post about breathing by telling me about the Yah Weh meditative technique–you inhale on Yah and exhale on Weh. After I read his text, I opened my quiet time book (The Divine Dance) and the author explained, in greater detail, the exact same breathing technique. I think God was coming at me with both barrels.

Saturday, January 21, 2023 God frequently has to remind me of things I am supposed to already know, like, relationships are the most important thing going on in my external world. First Him, then Karen, then my kids, and their kids, my extended family, my friends, people from my past, and any soul that God brings into my life. The purpose of every single one of those relationships is for Him to teach me to love. Love is eternal.

Thursday, December 1, 2022 Green pastures and still waters–that is how I would describe my retirement years. I hope that is not boastful–it fills my heart with deep gratitude. I will make this proclamation: When I retired, I was determined to make my relationship with God a top priority–I do this writing project because I want to tell those I love and anyone who will listen that God does not disappoint.
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside still waters…” (Psalm 23)

#489 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, December 12, 2022 This is a newish revelation: God also wants me to have faith in myself. The trick is to develop that without elevating myself over others. Comparison is a pothole into disharmony. Whatever the situation, God wants me to know We are together, that we can handle it, and that He trusts me to drive. He wants me to believe in myself.
