#225 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, May 27, 2022 I got a new role today: acolyte: a person assisting the celebrant in a religious service or procession. We all know who the Celebrant is, and the procession is life. Sign me up as an acolyte.

I’m off on an overnight golf trip, so I’m posting early–after all, it is Golf Tuesday…

#227 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, May 14, 2022 I believe in simple solutions to complex problems. “Love God and love my neighbor” will get me through 90% of the turmoils that arise in the average day.

#228 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, April 25, 2022 There is an unending supply of God’s love for me. I just need to ask. It can’t be selfish. I can’t pray for a lottery ticket. But if I ask Him to show me His love, it never fails. I am only required to pay attention–and be willing to pass it on. God looks at my heart. If I open my heart, He will bless.

I’m in a Willie Nelson mood…
#229 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, May 13, 2022 “Never think evil thoughts of anyone/ It’s just as wrong to think as to say/ For a thought is but a word that’s unspoken/ In God’s eyes, He sees it that way./ Lend a hand if you can to a stranger/ Never worry if he can’t repay/ For in time you’ll be repaid ten times over/ In God’s eyes, He sees it this way.” God is working from the inside to the outside. Be cleansed and clean the world.

#230 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, May 9, 2022 Karen has left me again (a ten day trip with her sisters). It’s just me and Spice and the Lord. Poor Spice spent the entire evening perched on the sofa by the front window, waiting for her to come home. My week will be filled with church responsibilities, daily spiritual exercise (golf), my diversions (puzzles, sports, zen putting), my usual phone calls, and my blessed back porch. I suppose there’s some truth to Beth and Dylan’s assertion that I am in a “monk phase” of life. There’s an abiding sense of God’s presence in my home. It’s quite wonderful. “O taste and see that the Lord is good,” the psalmist advises me.

This is a good one for Father’s Day…
#231 Wednesday, June 1, 2022 God gave me the opportunity to sit and visit with my son–who lives 2000 miles away–and talk about music and people we admire, and what moves us–and I see the influence I have had on him and, equally, the influence he has had on me. What a wonderfully complex, mysterious, and glorious idea it was for God to create family!
