My New Year’s declaration…
#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)

#832 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
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.

#835 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
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.
