#316 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Fri­day, August 5, 2022 This just struck me–I am still teach­ing. Jesus was a teacher and his dis­ci­ples were teach­ers. Every chris­t­ian is called upon to demon­strate to the world how trans­for­ma­tive it is to walk with Christ. No les­son plans and no stan­dard­ized test scores. And no fak­ing it. We teach by allow­ing our­selves to be led by the Holy Spir­it. Every sin­gle per­son we inter­act with is our student.

Wel­come to the Tues­day’s Spir­it Golf Club…
#317 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Fri­day, August 12, 2022 I’ve said this before, but golf is def­i­nite­ly a gift from God for old men (and for old women too–you can’t tell me they don’t like get­ting their hus­bands out of the house for five hours–or per­haps play­ing them­selves). Every day I see evi­dence of the vital­i­ty it adds to our lives. It makes me think of John Prine’s lament to old age: “Me and Loret­ta we don’t talk much more/ She sits and stares through the back door screen/ And the news just repeats itself/ Like some for­got­ten dream that we’ve both seen…” Just does­n’t com­pare to the laugh­ter on the first tee box. Thank You, Lord.

#318 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sun­day, May 29, 2022 God is try­ing to teach me how to main­tain an aware­ness of His pres­ence even when my atten­tion is focused on anoth­er per­son, like my wife or a friend. It’s a tricky busi­ness because it’s very easy for me to fall into the role I have with that per­son. But “…the fruit of the Spir­it is love…” — if I can keep the God chan­nel open, the inter­ac­tion I have with the oth­er per­son is sure to be ground­ed in love.

This is one of God’s lit­tle brush­strokes, which I love…
#319 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Mon­day, August 29 I just dis­cov­ered an amaz­ing coin­ci­dence. The date of the 300th post of my writ­ing project (HGSTMT) was the date of our 45th wed­ding anniver­sary (August 27). How cool is that? Even though my four sis­ters dropped me, even though my own chil­dren seem to bare­ly read it, I am more con­vinced than ever that this is what God has led me to write, and that this is the most sig­nif­i­cant writ­ing I will do. And I would nev­er have the guts to assume to tell peo­ple how God speaks to me on a dai­ly basis with­out the lov­ing sup­port of my wife, to whom He also speaks.

#320 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Fri­day, July 29, 2022 I guess this is too long for an epi­taph, but the Avett Broth­ers sure do speak to my soul:
“Isn’t that what it’s all about/ The blind­ed charg­ing through the night/ Guid­ed by the steady hand
I gave the world my best/ Brought back to You the rest/ And in return You loved me more
How do I return/ All that I took from You/ And all the life You gave to me?
When you learn you can’t earn/ The love you’re wait­ing for/ It’s already yours…”
–from When You Learn

Mon­day, August 8, 2022 Do peo­ple who fall asleep as soon as their head hit their pil­lows real­ize that’s a spir­i­tu­al gift? Bet­ter ques­tion: Do those of us who suf­fer from insom­nia (occa­sion­al or chron­ic) real­ize it’s a spir­i­tu­al struggle?

#322 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Fri­day, July 22, 2022 “Jesus is the the­ol­o­gy of the Father, revealed to us.” –Thomas Mer­ton Some peo­ple grasp the con­cept of God but balk at the prospect of Jesus being divine. That’s iron­ic because Jesus is undoubt­ed­ly God’s great­est gift to humanity.
God: I give you Myself.
Human­i­ty: No thanks.
Huh?
