July 6, 2024 Most of the time I don’t want what is best for me–I want what I want. It is a mis­take to allow myself to sneak onto the throne.

#1135 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July, 2024 I had a very painful missed putt about a week ago, but I bet it was noth­ing com­pared to Rory McIl­roy’s on #16 at the US Open in June. I have not felt so bad for a loss for some­one since my son dropped the state ten­nis final back in high school. I have no idea of Rory’s spir­i­tu­al incli­na­tions, but this is what I learned from my expe­ri­ence: Turn to God. He will help.

#1136 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 10, 2024 I’ve been involved with Feed­ing Five Thou­sand for about five years. I believe much of the sec­u­lar pop­u­la­tion has a neg­a­tive view of the Church these days, most­ly because of the blur­ring of the line sep­a­rat­ing church and state, the rise of Chris­t­ian nation­al­ism, the fun­da­men­tal­ist stance on abor­tion, and the over­all sup­port for a leader of proven bad char­ac­ter. I wish they could observe the good souls who work in our church kitchen every Wednes­day to pre­pare healthy meals for those less for­tu­nate. I wish they could see the laugh­ter and the joy and the love and the ser­vice. Then they would know what Jesus is real­ly about.

April, 2024 This from my qui­et time: “Med­i­ta­tion is the activ­i­ty of call­ing to mind, and think­ing over, and dwelling on, and apply­ing to one­self, the var­i­ous things that one knows about the works and ways and pur­pos­es and promis­es of God. It is an activ­i­ty of holy thought, con­scious­ly per­formed in the pres­ence of God, under the eye of God, by the help of God, as a means of com­mu­nion with God.” –from Know­ing God by J.I. Packer

May, 2024 Some­times when God does a big event (inter­nal or exter­nal) in my life, I know it immediately…kind of like a change of direc­tion on my path. The direc­tive to stop drink­ing was like that. I love such events, because they come to me as an affir­ma­tion. “Yes I am real, yes you are fol­low­ing Me, let’s keep going. Trust Me for the des­ti­na­tion.” Lead on, Lord Jesus.

June 21, 2024 Peo­ple who read my blog might think the more accu­rate title would be: How Dallin Thinks About God. Yep, that’s fair (thanks, Z.G.). My inter­pre­ta­tion is com­plete­ly sub­jec­tive. But I could not write it if there was­n’t an inter­ac­tion. I don’t have it in myself. It is the nudges, the hints, the vers­es, the lyrics, the coin­ci­dences, the men­tal notes, the hap­pen­ings, the wake ups, the affir­ma­tions, the results, the beck­ons, the winks, the laughs, the sur­pris­es, the knocks on the head–all the won­drous ways God has to cause me to think about Him. I nev­er ques­tion will He speak, only will I listen?

July 28, 2024 I used to think that my daugh­ter was more like me and my two sons were more like their moth­er. In ret­ro­spect, I can see that all three have acquired char­ac­ter­is­tics from both of us, with an extreme­ly gen­er­ous help­ing of their own unique­ness. My heav­en­ly Father, the great mixologist…
