#950 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April, 2024 There is a female mallard sitting right in front of me in the leaves (can you see it?). Alone. Why? And now the first mockingbird of the season is eating at the feeder. God is blowing kisses at me. I am reminded of the weathered sign above my head: Simplify. God speaks if I pay attention.

Golf Tuesday as a spectator sport…
#951 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
March, 2024 I consider it a miracle when I think about the house we ended up in at this point in our lives. For example: I sit about five yards away from my fence on our back porch. On the other side of the fence is the golf course. There is a line of majestic live oak trees along my side of the fairway. If you hit a shot near me, it was a bad shot and you are in trouble. These are the golfers I get to talk to in the course of an evening. What a marvelous entertainment!

#952 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
February, 2024 Another thing I love about my relationship with Jesus is that there is zero sense of competition. Human beings compare and evaluate, so there will always be a level of competition. Jesus is God, and I am man. It’s not like He’s better at this and I’m better at that. My responsibility is clear but not simple: I am to follow where He leads–day by day, moment by moment. It is possible to live my life like that, but it is an acquired skill, not a natural ability.

March, 2024 When Covid started, God told me to make phone calls. I had gotten to the point where I spoke with my family (brother and four sisters) about three times a year. Now I speak with them several times a month. I had basically lost touch with my best friend from high school, my college/hippie days best friend (now deceased), and my infant brother in Christ–all three friendships revived during the Covid era. Besides that, there have been reconnections with at least a dozen people (it is easy for me to forget how much I liked someone!). God cares about relationships. Relationships are how we learn to express love. If God were to speak to you through me, I think He would tell you to call someone you care about.

March, 2024 As I draw nearer I catch more glimpses of the kindness and the goodness You are manifesting in my life, and it becomes apparent that is Your intention for me. I am to manifest– (v.) to show something clearly, through signs or actions–I am to manifest that kindness and that goodness to all You bring me into contact with. That is how Your church is supposed to work.

March, 2024 My body. My mind. My soul. My spirit. I seldom think of it like that, but that is all of me. Some might say heart, but my heart is the bridge between my mind and my soul. My ego: he’s just trying to crawl through my mind to get to my soul. My soul has decided to seek after God. My spirit waits patiently for me to become who I am supposed to be.

A look back at Eclipse gathering on Family Sunday…
#956 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 8, 2024 Galaxy cocktails at the Eclipse reunion (most of the non-alcohol variety). So many people did so many different things to make this a memorable occasion for everyone present. And then God topped it off with a perfect view of His astronomical miracle. “We love because He first loved us.” (I John 4:19)
