A cure for the blues…
#1518 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 17, 2025 When I am in a black or blue mood, it’s hard for me to remember that I’m still responsible for what I say and think and do, that the Lord is still in the room. Anger and depression are by-products of forgetting that. I will never be able to help someone else if I will not allow myself to be changed. Lift me up, Lord Jesus

Golf Tuesday, watching…
#1519 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 6, 2025 It’s harder for me to meditate or pray on my back porch than in my study. I’m more distracted, it’s harder to slow down, and there’s so much going on out there on the course! But God can attract outwardly as well as inwardly. The back porch in the springtime causes me to appreciate the wonder of life. I told Karen I sometimes feel like I’m watching God’s movie on a huge screen. I guess that’s meditative, isn’t it?
**Haha–couldn’t have been 15 minutes after I wrote this that I saw my first bobcat moving across the fairway!

#1520 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 21, 2025 Every time I see one of my former students post about children starving in Gaza, or immigrant families torn apart by ICE, or people unable to get the medical care they need, my heart leaps a little in joy and hope. I am so pleased to see the caring people they have become. I am certain that Jesus is always on the side of suffering people. He proved it.

The ol’ switcheroo…

July 23, 2025 God wants me to pray more about what He wants to happen and less about what I want to happen.

July 12, 2025 “Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.” –Benjamin Franklin
And so I end up playing catch up. Now I realize that so many of my pursuits (girls as an adolescent–success as a writer–prestige as a teacher–recognition as a Christian) were nothing more than striving after wind. Now my goals are much simpler:
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

August 8, 2025 From there (photo) to here (photo). I don’t see how anyone can raise a family and not believe in God.
