#1127 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June, 2024 Alcohol. I can’t keep my decision to stop drinking from my posts because it’s where I really need to rely on God. A confession: it won’t be easy (photo demonstrates I come from an alcohol-loving family). Most of my experiences with alcohol have been fun-loving, amusing and convivial. And that first taste of an Old Fashioned is a highlight of any day. But it is time–God told me. I am confident: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

Golf Tuesday in the danger zone…

June 19, 2024 “Killed by a golf shot.” Would that be so bad? The other evening one landed on the portico right above us–a tremendous crash. It really scared Karen. We have two wonderful live oaks protecting us, but occasional shots do get through. I figure getting hit would be such a freak occurrence. I don’t believe God wants that to happen to us–I feel safe.

June 8, 2024 This from my quiet time: “God cannot love except totally, completely, unconditionally. When we ask for expressions of His love, our very requests impose limits, and yet we are constantly amazed at the way He transcends these limits. We ask for a grain of sand and He gives us the beach; we ask for a drop of water and He gives us the ocean; we ask for life and He gives us eternity. God’s gifts are His way of showing reverence for us. Our reverence for Him must come in our grateful response to these gifts.” — Edward J. Farrell

April, 2024 The Trinity, the three-in-one: I think that is the hardest concept for unbelievers to grasp. Once I believed, it became the easiest. The Holy Spirit–God within me, securing me forever into His family; Jesus–the mediator, the bridge, the savior of my soul, transferring it from this world to the next; the Father–of course, the creator and sustainer of everything that is.

June 13, 2024 Can you see them? (Not the golfers!) Downy woodpeckers. I am almost certain they are lovers. Our suet cage is a bistro!

Family Sunday fast-forwarding…
#1133 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 21, 2024 I am excited to my toes that in seven days my darling daughter Bethany and my untameable granddaughters Edith and Agnes are coming here for a two-week visit. We haven’t seen them since April, though it seems much longer than that. The only disappointment is that my brilliant son-in-law Dylan won’t be able to make the trip with them. Thank You for my family, Lord Jesus.
