#43 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, October 9, 2021 We went to a wedding tonight. It was an extremely unreligious wedding, only one mention of God that i can recall. But this, like most weddings, was a joyous occasion–Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding! I fully believe God gave His blessing to this couple’s wedding. There’s a very fine line between the sacred and the secular. God wants to teach me how to be “…in the world but not of the world.”

Sunday, November 5, 2021 I played golf with my son and granddaughter today–her first nine holes–what a thrill! You see in the Bible how God moves through generations–He doesn’t just bob in and out. i have no aspirations for her other than that she comes to appreciate what a wonderful spiritual exercise golf is.

Sunday, November 13, 2021 My friend Mary used to call them “come to Jesus” moments. I believe she meant those times when you knew you messed up, when your actions caused unwanted consequences, when you had to make amends. i cannot testify to the intimacy of Mary’s relationship with Our Lord, but I had a back porch revelation: our lives are peppered with “come to Jesus” moments. Every time I get impatient, every time I think my opinion is right and yours is wrong, every time I’m envious or covetous or jealous (the list goes on)–those are all “come to Jesus” moments. And the wonderful thing is that He will receive you and straighten you out and put you back on the road to glory.

#47 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, November 25, 2021 (Thanksgiving) Trying to look at Thanksgiving from God’s point of view. I’ll bet He hears more graces before the meal than any other day, even Christmas. But the focus seems to be more on our appetites than on His beneficence. I wonder what it would be like if a nation fasted on Thanksgiving? That won’t happen. Still, I don’t think God is discontent. He’ll take thankfulness in whatever form it comes.

Sunday, November 7, 2021 Old people become more forgetful and are aware of it. When we got back from our trip to Austin, Karen could not find her I‑Pad. It is precious to her and contains many valuable things, so we searched high and low. I called the motel and they had not found it. Of course, we prayed. After a second search, we found it on the floor of the backseat of my car. An unbeliever would say that one of us had stuck it back there and forgotten we did it, and he/she would be correct. Karen and I would praise God for helping us to recover the precious item. So the only difference between the unbeliever and the believer(s) is a grateful heart. A grateful heart is a nice thing to have.

#49 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, November 20, 2021 Sometimes I feel out of it spiritually. I am apathetic–I am tired–even if I know to turn to God, it is half-hearted. Like tonight–but still God will speak. He says, “I didn’t choose you for what you can do for me. I chose you for what I can do for you.” I believe God is saying this to every single person on the planet.
