#697 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June, 2023 When Jesus said I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, it wasn’t an egoistic exclusionary statement. It wasn’t like, Hey it’s Me not Buddha. It was to let us see what God is like–to show us–to reveal Himself. The Way–follow Him; the Truth–believe in Him; the Life–live through Him.

Golf Tuesday has more luster when I’m injured and can’t play…
#698 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May, 2023 If golf is a spiritual exercise (it is), are two very good rounds in a row an indication that I am being spiritually healed? My answer is a resounding NO, but I do believe I am being spiritually healed. Spiritual healing is a process that begins when we meet God and continues (without a break) until we see Him face to face. It’s like a chess game that I can’t win, but the longer I play the more I don’t want to.

May, 2023 This is how God speaks to me in a song:
“I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.” –Paul Simon
Nikon camera = my pen; photograph = my daily post; Kodachrome = God’s active presence in my life.
This is exactly how I feel about my writing project!

#700 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May, 2023 Sometimes God is silent. He is here, and I know it, but I have no idea what word message He desires to send me. This is not a bad thing. My writing project is a by-product, not the reason–relationship is always first. Knowing He is here is enough. I cannot ever move God–I pray by His grace I will allow Him to move me.

#701 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July, 2023 I have to keep reminding myself that God has ALWAYS been active in my life. I have a tendency to divide it into two eras, pre- and post- Christian. That division is totally within my own mind. God knew what He was doing the entire time.

#702 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July, 2023 I was 26 years old when I asked Jesus to come into my life. In retrospect, it was my best day ever. I feel like this comic perfectly expresses what my life would have been like had that not happened.

It’s Family Sunday! (mini-version)
#703 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May, 2023 “A human is not higher than other animals because he can mercilessly torture them, but because he can have compassion on them.” –Buddhist wisdom.
I was never a pet person (of course, I didn’t torture them!). But we got Spice in the midst of the Covid epidemic, and though not Beth or Nate or Zack, she has become a vital part of our family. God will expand my heart in any area that I allow Him.
