#211 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, April 20, 2022 It is a powerful thing when someone else writes what I am thinking: “At issue here is the question: To whom do I belong? To God or to the world? Many of my daily preoccupations suggest that I belong more to the world than to God. A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me. It takes very little to raise me up or thrust me down. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves.” –from The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen
Thanks be to God that I only think that I’m steering the boat!

Tuesday is golf day…
#212 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, April 26, 2022 I made a wrong choice today. While I was playing golf, Karen had a dental appointment and her car wouldn’t start. I got my car to her, she made it to the appointment, and I kept playing golf. There were extenuating circumstances on both sides, but the better choice would have been to quit golf and deal with the car thing. Ah well. My wife forgave me, and I’m confident God did too. Next time I will choose better.

#214 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, April 30, 2022 Jesus laughed at me tonight. I was praying about something I was writing, and I thought: I don’t want people to think I am egotistical, and He laughed. Get it? I just love Him.

#215 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, May 19, 2022 I cannot deny that sorrow permeates this world. Many blame God, inferring that He created this mess. I can only paraphrase the message of my Savior: It doesn’t have to be this way.

#216 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, November 17, 2021 How do I know that God has spoken to me? I invite Him to, and then I pay attention. At the end of the day I reflect. Today God reaffirmed that this writing project is a good thing for me to do.

Breaking precedent and posting today today (if you know what I mean)…
#217 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, June 5, 2022 I got Covid-19 today. This is how God spoke to me: Relax. Have no fear. Cooperate with your caregivers (my wife, my son and his wife, the doctor’s instructions). Be as unintrusive as possible on the lifestyle of those around you (luckily, my son has a separate living quarter on their property–thank You, God!). Use this time (5 day quarantine) to seek Me. Listen to music. Read and write and meditate and pray. Trust Me.
