No words are adequate…
#1490 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 7, 2025 My heart does not know how to respond to the events surrounding the flooding in the Hill Country–it just freezes up and locks in on how tragic that such a thing could even happen. I know that the only way I could comprehend the fear and the agony and the despair would be to go through it myself. Even prayer seems empty. It reaches into the depths of my faith just to say Okay, Lord…this happened. You can make something worthwhile out of this because You make good out of everything. Please do it.

Coasting on Golf Tuesday…
#1491 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 19, 2025 My partner and I won an important match, and we won in a rout. I had woken up in the middle of the night, anxious and fretful. In golf, as in life, it’s rare that things I want come easily. Grace means unmerited favor. God is trying to teach me to see the grace in the doing, not in the result.

I’m listening…

June 24, 2025. “Much is accomplished if, in the first place, we talk less and listen more…” –Thomas R. Kelly
I have heard all of my stories. The art of conversation lies in drawing others’ stories out of them. God listens way more than He speaks.

Do you hear what I hear?

May 29, 2025 The only person who ever reads my blog posts before I publish them is Karen. This is probably the poor girl’s honest reaction to many of them. Ah, the hazards of creativity!

…His lovingkindnesses are new each morning…” –Lamentations 3:23

May 13, 2025 “The decision to set the mind on the higher things of life is an act of the will. This is why celebration is a discipline. It is not something that falls on our heads. It is the result of a consciously chosen way of thinking and living.” –Richard Foster
I call it starting the day with intentionality. Good morning, Jesus. Wonderful to be with You today. What do You have in store for us? Please give me the grace to listen, to follow, to act.

Me and my Dallin Whisperer…
#1495 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 9, 2025 I do okay with self-control when I recognize there’s a conflict between what I want and what God wants. I intend to do the latter. My problem is that most of my indulgences in my ego or my desires of the flesh are semi-conscious; I have the impulse, I do or say or think it, and then I wonder should I have done or said or thought that? It’s not about inhibition–I just know that in whatever the situation my best option is whatever God would want. Yours too. I hope to increase my awareness of what that might be, but God has to do that. I believe He will.

Family Sunday, back in the high life again…
#1496 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 20, 2025 My 13 year old granddaughter just finished reading my first novel, The Whole Nine Yards. She liked it–she genuinely liked it. I’ve said before that writers love to be read. But my own granddaughter…I don’t think I felt such joy about the book since I first learned that it was being published.
