#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.

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.”
