#260 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, June 3, 2022 There’s something elemental about sitting around a fire with people that I love. I suppose humankind has been doing this since we inhabited the planet. It moves me gracefully to a place near the center of my soul–where the Holy Spirit resides. (That’s my son-in-law Dylan and my son Nathan)

#261 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, June 29, 2022 It was one of those perfect moments on the golf course (even though I wasn’t playing that well). I was sitting in the golf cart in the shade, waiting to hit. It was hot, but there was the breeze and the shade. The sky was utter blueness, the leaves of the trees had perfect sharp edges, the locusts hummed, and George Harrison was hitting that exquisite guitar riff on “Let It Be”–and I knew that I was blessed. That’s how God spoke to me today.

Tuesday, May 17, 2022 Lethargy…it is an enemy to us all, but especially as we get older. Sometimes there is a book I think I should read but it is lying on the floor three feet away from me–so I sit there. Lethargy says “Do nothing.” But it is a paper mache opponent. All I have to do is move and it is gone. Reminds me of one of my favorite Dylan lines: “…he not busy being born is busy dying.”

Monday, June 20, 2022 The separation of the ego and the soul–boy, that is a close cut! They are both me but not on the same wavelength. It’s a matter of exalting vs. humbling. Of course, the soul is nearer to God. Lord, teach me to cleave to my soul.

Thursday, June 23, 2022 This from my quiet time: “The more control you try to grasp, the less you have; the more control you surrender to God, the more under control your life becomes. Surrendering control does not mean you have become passive or fatalistic. It does mean you trust that God has given you the physical, emotional and spiritual tools necessary to negotiate life. To surrender control to God releases the tension within that keeps you from responding to life with all your capacity.” –from Loving Yourself for God’s Sake by Adolfo Quezada

#265 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, June 27, 2022 Where are you in my dreams, Lord? I’d say about 75% of my dreams are unsettling or disturbing (school anxiety, I am lost, family is fractured, or worse) and yet I never reach out to God. When I wake up in a sweat, I immediately pray and give it to the Lord. But not in my dream state. Why? Dear Lord Jesus, I hereby give You a standing invitation to intervene in my dreams whenever You wish–I certainly need You there.

Sunday, June 19, 2022 I had a wonderful Father’s Day! I was at my son’s house, and they had invited several other couples. I was Father Emeritus. They had to do all the fatherly things (Father’s Day is not a day off when you have young children). I just did the barbecue. I felt like a patriarch.
