#999 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July, 2023 Slowly I am getting the faintest grasp of the Trinity. Jesus is “…the firstborn of all creation…” (Colossians 1:15). That doesn’t mean the prototype man. Before there was a star or a solar system or a molecule or an atom, I AM decided to create–He created Himself, and then the Holy Spirit to unite Them as One. The way I write it puts it in a historical (chronological) sequence, which is ridiculous since God transcends space and time (told you this was the faintest grasp). It does put a glow on our planet’s history: “In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” And I get to have a personal relationship with Him (Them)!

#1000 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, June 18, 2024 This is my one thousandth post of HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY. My heart sings with gratitude. Though writing is a task, and though there is no money or fame in this project, the personal benefits I derive are innumerable. I am most blessed because I get to share my vision with the 90 or so dear people on my email list and with whoever from my past comes across it on Facebook. There is only one goal: to encourage whoever reads this to pursue a relationship with God.

#1001 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April, 2024 God chooses to reveal Himself to me. That is a mind-blowing truth. He has promised to do that. (Psalm 34:8). Therefore, my first priority in my daily life is to pay attention and see how He is showing up. This is no easy game, no Tic Tac Toe. I am dealing with the most creative, engrossing, mystical, magical, nurturing, loving Force unimaginable. The closest human parallel to finding God is discovering art. It is a challenge–God is not blatant. Ah, but the rewards…

#1002 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July, 2023 It is so simple…how do I forget it so easily? “In desperation the jailer asked, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ Never missing an opportunity to share the good news, Paul and Silas said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved–you and your household.’ ” (Acts 16:30–31) This is no futuristic, pie-in-the-sky-when-you-die promise. Paul means right here, right now. Belief is not some long term contract–it happens in the present.

#1003 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
February, 2024 “…in the world but not of the world..” Did a search and that isn’t in the Bible, although the idea is promulgated. I find it is a very tough line to call…could go either way at any time. It is not an either/or proposition. All Jesus wants of/for me is to allow His illumination to shine forth, no matter the situation. That does not mean active ministry 24/7– it just means the door should be open. Jesus has a way of finding us situations where we can help.

#1004 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
February, 2024 Ah, the weather has turned and we are back out on our porch in the evening. I can only think of a few places where I’ve felt so serene and peaceful–a spot by the Student Union at MU…looking down on the Plaza San Salvadore in Seville, Spain…in a graveyard on a full moon…where I buried my dog on a hill by a creek…I have learned the real secret: It’s not where I am, it’s W/who I’m with.

#1005 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 9, 2024 When we moved from New Braunfels to Frisco six years ago I had mixed feelings about it, mainly because I loved where I was living in retirement. However, I had a strong conviction this was what God wanted for us (and Karen had no doubt). Tonight I am having a soulful talk with my son while Mason is doing handsprings and backflips across my lawn and Elliotte is filming her. Karen and Kallie and Harlie are inside making happiness cards for old folks in retirement homes. Boy, does that decision we made seven years ago feel right to me now! This is my forever retirement verse: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul.”
