#830 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Jan­u­ary 1, 2024 Karen made this com­ment after a recent post: “I won­der if peo­ple read­ing this can relate–if they think: How does he know that ‘voice’ is God’s?” I bet some peo­ple do think that, but I refuse to won­der about it. My covenant for this writ­ing project is with God. I freely admit this is the most sub­jec­tive inter­pre­ta­tion of God’s ‘voice’ imag­in­able. I retired and prayed for some­thing to write about, and God ‘said’ Why don’t you write about your rela­tion­ship with Me? I read­i­ly agreed, and W/we have been rolling ever since. I pub­lish this with the hope that any­one read­ing will be encour­aged to do their own listening.

Ah, anoth­er year of Golf Tuesdays…
#831 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Decem­ber, 2023 My mes­sage from God for the New Year: If golf is a spir­i­tu­al exer­cise (it is), then God has a rea­son for me being at Plan­ta­tion at this point in my life. That rea­son has to do with friend­ship and care and love. We are com­pa­tri­ots on the jour­ney at this stage of our lives. Let’s keep play­ing. (thanks for the pho­to, Paul)

Novem­ber, 2023 Even with my writ­ing project, some­times I feel like my tank is emp­ty, like I’m bounc­ing around in my mind, look­ing for some­thing God might say. It reminds me of being in a con­ver­sa­tion and not real­ly lis­ten­ing to the oth­er per­son because I’m too busy think­ing of what I want to say next. God usu­al­ly whis­pers, and He won’t speak at all if I won’t listen.

Novem­ber, 2023 Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kind­ness. Good­ness. Faith­ful­ness. Gen­tle­ness. Self-con­trol. These are the only stan­dards I know with which to eval­u­ate how my life is pro­gress­ing at this stage.

#834 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Decem­ber, 2023 God gave me a very spe­cif­ic mes­sage tonight: Slow down. Breathe. Don’t allow your mind to race (you have con­trol). Relax. Keep breathing.
It is almost like com­ing out of a fog.

Novem­ber, 2023 I can­not try to be more hum­ble. That is just invit­ing my ego in through the back door. What I can try to do is put oth­ers’ con­cerns and needs above my own. Humil­i­ty will follow.

Fam­i­ly Sun­day, the dark side…
#836 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Novem­ber, 2023 I am aware of sev­er­al fam­i­ly con­flicts going on right now, although my involve­ment is only periph­er­al. What I have come to real­ize is there’s noth­ing I can do to improve the sit­u­a­tions except pray. My Ser­mon on the Mount con­scious­ness tells me we should be able to resolve these things in about thir­ty sec­onds. Ah, but that’s not the world we live in. Fam­i­ly rela­tion­ships are so ingrained that it’s dif­fi­cult to see a wider per­spec­tive. And we cer­tain­ly don’t want anoth­er fam­i­ly mem­ber pro­vid­ing it for us! Please bring peace, Lord Jesus.
