#802 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
October, 2023 “I wanna tell you people it’s a natural fact/ Every man don’t understand the Bible alike/ And that’s all, I’ll tell you that’s all/ But you better have Jesus, I’ll tell you that’s all.” –Denomination Blues by Ry Cooder
There is no spiritual blessing in the universe that matches the knowledge that you are in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

#803 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
November, 2023 We had our first annual (I hope) Plantation Senior Men’s end-of-year party. It was awesome. Husbands and wives! There were 50 people there. Conversations going on everywhere. I felt like I was in high school, except we are old. It started out a little junior high–men on the porch, ladies inside–but that soon dissolved. We golfers got to see each other from a wider perspective. Friendships were strengthened. I felt like God had His hand behind the whole event.

November, 2023 “For those who live a spiritual life, wealth is not only unnecessary but uncomfortable. It stops the development of one’s real life.” –Leo Tolstoy
I cannot believe there was a time when I used to pray to win the lottery. As if I perceived the need (more money) and God provided the solution (win the lottery!). God perceives my needs. He knows far better how to cure my ills than I do. Thy will be done, Lord Jesus.

#805 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August, 2023 “God never closes a door without opening a window.” Christian aphorism. I remember it sometimes annoyed me. If I didn’t get the job I really wanted, or my book didn’t get published. Tough medicine–can’t get my mind off the closed door. The windows He opened were not as easy to discern, and the closed door sound had such a finality to it. And now after 74 years of life…“O give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His mercies are everlasting.” (Psalm 136:1)

November, 2023 Yeah, this is how my blog is sometimes received…on the other hand, God can use a beige wall.

#807 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August, 2023 Long ago a high school boy said to me, “I don’t like to read, Mr. M. When I read I have to think.” I don’t want to condemn the remark–I want to recognize the truth. We all need opportunities to turn off our minds…down times. (Funny thing, for me reading is a down time). The scary thing is when we allow our down times (television, sleeping, favorite sites on internet) to become our primary means of killing time. If I am killing time, I am inviting death.

#808 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
December, 2023 A Swift-ie? I just had the pleasure of being introduced to the fabulousness of Taylor Swift by my granddaughters. They communicated this by several Karaoke-ish performances, insights into Taylor’s romantic misadventures, and an emphasis on the really cool words. I was left with a list of eight songs I have to listen carefully to. My response to this? I will go through any door that God opens to draw me nearer to my granddaughters. And I like Taylor.
