#1322 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Octo­ber 19, 2024 The world, the flesh and the dev­il. If I strug­gle with temp­ta­tion or doubt or com­mit­ment, those are the sources of my dis­con­tent. They are also the sources of the sev­en dead­ly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, glut­tony, wrath and sloth. But sin is no longer my concern–transformation is. I can­not defeat my sin…I can only trust the One who already has.

Golf Tues­day, a milestone…

Decem­ber 21, 2024 High on the wish list of most golfers is con­sis­ten­cy. I hit a new height of con­sis­ten­cy yes­ter­day: I fin­ished my fifth con­sec­u­tive round using the exact same golf ball. If you ever played golf with me you’ll know this bor­dered on the mirac­u­lous. I hope my golf ball enjoys its retire­ment as much as I am enjoy­ing mine.

July 3, 2024 This from my qui­et time: “You find no dif­fi­cul­ty in trust­ing the Lord with the man­age­ment of the uni­verse, and all the out­ward cre­ation, and can your case be any more com­plex or dif­fi­cult than these, that you need to be anx­ious or trou­bled about His man­age­ment of you? Away with such unwor­thy doubt­ings! Take your stand on the pow­er and trust­wor­thi­ness of your God, and see how quick­ly all dif­fi­cul­ties will van­ish before a stead­fast deter­mi­na­tion to believe.” –Han­nah Whithall Smith

Novem­ber 27, 2024 Cre­ativ­i­ty is a gift I prize high­ly. We are “cre­at­ed” in His image. There are thou­sands of ways to be cre­ative, and they all involve being open to new­ness. I rec­og­nize the ten­den­cy to become more cau­tious as I age, but that does­n’t mean pre­dictable or rou­tine. There are bound­less fron­tiers to explore that don’t involve dan­ger or risk. My senior phys­i­cal fit­ness adage applies to men­tal fit­ness as well: You got­ta keep movin’ or you’ll be left behind.

This was my New Year’s Eve reflection…
#1326 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Decem­ber 31, 2024 What God was try­ing to teach me in 2024: *My retire­ment goal of learn­ing to abide in Him is still my high­est aspi­ra­tion. *Give God the Big Pic­ture and try to live in the present. *Alco­hol is a tricky sub­stance. Always be care­ful (and wel­come to Dry Jan­u­ary). *God still has much to teach me about love through Karen. *I have lit­tle con­trol over what hap­pens in my chil­dren’s lives at this point, but God does. Prayer always helps. *Golf is only a spir­i­tu­al exer­cise if I make it one–but it is a won­der­ful spir­i­tu­al exer­cise! *If I lis­ten, He will speak.

Jan­u­ary 1, 2025 Some peo­ple I am close to would describe 2024 as one of the worst years imag­in­able, because of world events and/or per­son­al issues. Although I find world events dark and trou­bling, I am stand­ing on my faith that God is in con­trol. For our lit­tle lives He has been incred­i­bly gen­tle and patient and mer­ci­ful this past year. Our cups run­neth over. I’m equal­ly aware that our lives could crater in 2025. But what­ev­er hap­pens, we know good­ness and mer­cy will be fol­low­ing us. That helps.

Jan­u­ary 12, 2025 My son who lives in Port Townsend called me just as I was fin­ish­ing med­i­tat­ing. It was a won­der­ful way to come out of it. Maybe it seems con­trived, but that is how God spoke to me today. Thanks, Lord.
