Novem­ber 26, 2024 It would­n’t have hap­pened if I had­n’t reached out. This is one of the foun­da­tion­al truths of the com­mit­ting of char­i­ta­ble acts. Many peo­ple will not ask for help even if they need it. I am sup­posed to pay atten­tion, be aware, per­ceive needs. And I am sup­posed to reach out.

Golf Tues­day and predestination…

Decem­ber 23, 2024 I came oh so close to my first hole in one today. This con­ver­sa­tion ensued as we drove away:
Cor­nel: Ah well, a hole in one is noth­ing but luck anyway.
Me: I don’t believe that.
Cor­nel: Oh. What do you think?
Me: I feel like God has promised me a hole in one. It’s only a mat­ter of time.
Cor­nel: Ah, so it’s pre­des­tined. Well, you bet­ter keep praying.
Me: Yeah, I guess so. But it’s not like I’m going to get to heav­en and see Him face to face and say, “Hey, what about my hole in one?” (Jesus, not Santa!)

July 6, 2024 relax — (v.) — to become calm and com­fort­able, and not wor­ried or ner­vous… Is that some­thing I even have con­trol of? I say yes. How often do I exer­cise that con­trol? Not often enough. Ten­sion dimin­ish­es my aware­ness of the Spir­it. Being present, breath­ing, col­lect­ing my thoughts, sit­ting still, clos­ing my eyes or open­ing them, listening–all con­ducive to open­ing my spir­i­tu­al pores. “And the peace of God, which pas­seth all under­stand­ing, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philip­pi­ans 4:7)

Octo­ber 20, 2024 A writer wants to be read. Once writ­ten, I have lit­tle con­trol over who my ideas land on or how they land. I would not write any­more if I did­n’t believe God want­ed me to. I used to tell my Cre­ative Writ­ing stu­dents that in order to write, you had to believe you had some­thing to say that was worth hear­ing. A per­son­al rela­tion­ship with our Cre­ator is cer­tain­ly a top­ic worth explor­ing. Give me words, Lord Jesus.

Novem­ber 15, 2024 “Let noth­ing dis­turb you. Let noth­ing fright­en you. All things are chang­ing. God alone is change­less. Patience attains the good. One who has God lacks noth­ing. God alone fills all our needs.” –St. Tere­sa of Avila
Through­out the ages there have been peo­ple who understand.

Decem­ber 6, 2024 I’ve been writ­ing HGSTMT over three years, almost 1300 posts. In all that time I’ve got­ten my spir­i­tu­al insight through tele­vi­sion twice, maybe three times. I’ll bet around 40% of my posts con­tain a quote from the Bible or some wise writer. All of them came through read­ing. Moral of the sto­ry: If you are look­ing for inspi­ra­tion, open a book.

Decem­ber 22, 2024 A nice way to kick off Christ­mas week–we took the girls to see the Nut­crack­er. Nev­er been to the bal­let before, did­n’t know any­thing about it nar­ra­tive-wise, did­n’t read the program–I had no idea what was going on up there! But I did like the music, and the girls seemed to enjoy it. Thanks for a new expe­ri­ence, Lord.
