The wedding trip, part 2…
#302 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, July 3, 2022 I watched my 72 year old sister get married tonight. Weddings are such joyous occasions. I believe there was as much wine consumed as Jesus produced for the wedding at Cana. Theirs was intentionally a non-religious ceremony, so I guess Jesus was not invited. He was there anyway.

Golf day, sort of…
#303 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, April 9, 2022 I am an old man who is marching to the doorway of death–that is a true fact. No brilliant rounds of golf or witty posts is going to change that. That is an eventual true fact for my wife, my brother and sisters, my wife’s sisters, my oldest friends, my golf buddies, and, let’s face it, my beloved children, and anyone who is reading. How best to prepare for this?

Shout out to my F5K co-workers!
#304 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, June 29, 2022 Serve the Lord with gladness…(Psalm 100:2) I work with a ministry at my church called Feed the Five Thousand. We prepare meals on Wednesdays and take them to the only poor neighborhood there is in Frisco. I noticed today that everyone who works (usually 10–12 people) is almost always in a good mood–cheerful and cooperative and present. It’s the Holy Spirit that does that.

Thursday, August 18, 2022 My coaching friend tells his players they can only control two things in a game–their effort and their attitude. That is so true! Then I realized that it’s equally true about our spiritual journeys: “…for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him…”—attitude and effort!

#306 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, May 18, 2022 Jesus has given me a new paradigm in which to consider our relationship–I am His “sidekick.” Like Tonto and the Lone Ranger. I get to travel through this life watching Him trying to make every situation better, doing my part whenever I can see what my part is (I get lots of parts), and trusting Him for the results for everything we leave behind us. I definitely want to audition for the role.

Monday, July 4, 2022 Happy birthday, America. I believe it works with nations exactly the way it works with individuals–God will bless to the extent that we reflect the values that He has called us to: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

#308 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, July 8, 2022 “God looks at the heart…” That answers so many questions for me, especially political ones. I have some loving, committed Christian friends who are on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me. I am baffled by this. But this verse makes it clear that I am not to judge. I don’t know their heritage or their history or their demographic background. God looks at their hearts–that’s where I need to focus my attention.
