God has opened a new door…I call it Med­i­ta­tion Monday
#596 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Feb­ru­ary, 2023 God has shown me a new tech­nique to use in my effort to draw near­er to Him (…of course, any such effort is pred­i­cat­ed on the assur­ance that His desire is for me to draw nearer)–the timed med­i­ta­tion. I set the timer (usu­al­ly 5–10 min­utes), pick a mantra: (inhale) the Lord is my shep­herd (exhale) I shall not want; close my eyes, and breathe. What­ev­er thoughts invade my mind I allow to just slide through while I go back to my mantra and breath. It has a very calm­ing effect–like God speak­ing with­out words.

It’s Tuesday…need I say more?

June, 2023 Four day golf trip with 9 old men–God reveals to me how sim­i­lar and dis­sim­i­lar we can be at this stage of our lives. We share so many of the same con­cerns: our health, our golf game, our sleep­ing arrange­ments, the fluc­tu­a­tions of the stock mar­ket, our food con­sump­tion, and especially–is there enough cof­fee for the morn­ing??? Yet each man is fierce­ly inde­pen­dent, pri­vate about his heart and his spir­it, engaged in his own strug­gles with ego and self-esteem, and ever aware there is no place like home. Makes for an extreme­ly enter­tain­ing stream of interactions.

April, 2023 Renew­ing old friend­ships: Part by Covid and part by God, my life has been great­ly enhanced by recon­nect­ing with old friends whom the waters of time had washed out of my life. My best friend from high school–my fel­low explor­er from the tune in, turn on, drop out days–my spir­i­tu­al broth­er-in-arms from my Chris­t­ian infancy–all of whom had dis­ap­peared from my life for the past forty years–they have reap­peared and awak­ened insight and mem­o­ries into how God has always been at work in my life. I dis­agree with the Bea­t­les’ the­sis: “And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make..” Seems like we get to take way more than we make.

April, 2023 This is won­der­ful advice for any mar­riage: “A bad mood is often the rea­son for blam­ing others;but very often blam­ing oth­ers caus­es bad feel­ings in us; the more we blame the worse we feel. If you are liv­ing with anoth­er per­son, make an agree­ment that as soon as either of you starts to blame the oth­er, you will end the argu­ment.” –Leo Tolstoy

This is a land­mark day for me and God…this is our 600th dai­ly post!
#600 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April, 2023 My pur­pose of my writ­ing project is to tell peo­ple about my every­day expe­ri­ence of hav­ing a per­son­al rela­tion­ship with God. It is an extreme­ly enter­tain­ing and joy­ous endeavor.

#601 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Feb­ru­ary, 2023 I want to extol the virtues of for­give­ness. If I am hon­est with myself, I can think of hun­dreds (thou­sands) of inci­dents in my sub­con­scious when I was obnox­ious or insen­si­tive or self­ish in thought or action–I think of them as shad­ed areas. Those shad­ed areas want to bub­ble up and affect how I am, here and now. My shield is for­give­ness. God’s imme­di­ate reac­tion to any­thing from the dark­ness of my past is light–forgiveness! And since I can receive it so freely, what can I do but let it pass through me to oth­ers. For­give­ness cleans­es relationships.

#602 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April, 2023. First Elliotte told Karen there was water run­ning in our bath­room. Then Har­lie told me our oth­er bath­room was smok­ing. Of course, they knew that we knew…but we all thought it was hys­ter­i­cal. Such sim­ple joy! God loves laughter!
