I gotta keep moving…
#1469 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 26, 2025 As I age the desire to be sedentary grows stronger. I’ve maneuvered my recliner so that I can reach my table lamp and the light/fan switch without getting up. I put whatever I am working on or reading on the floor next to me. I wonder how the elderly got by before TV remotes? My exercise regimen has just about narrowed down to golf. But no, the Holy Spirit says. When rest turns to laziness, the flesh has taken over. Abide is an active verb. Or, as Albert Einstein said, “Life is like a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

Golf Tuesday, been down so long it looks like up…

June 2, 2025 My friend had a bad day on the course today. He handled it well–no cussing or club-throwing or (like most of us) bitching. He just got quieter. It is hard to be sociable when we are playing badly–and who says we need to be? Everybody I golf with has these days. I believe God has His purposes: humility, perseverance, peace (or lack of), and self-awareness, to name a few. It ain’t a spiritual exercise if you don’t allow it to be. My friend did. And he was laughing and joking with the guys in the clubhouse afterwards. Nice landing.

I’m here, Lord…

May 31, 2025 Something God is teaching me is not to put Him on hold. This does not mean slavish attentiveness–it means an abiding awareness of His presence and His priority. I have to clear the table for God.

disturbing the present…

June 6, 22025 “There is no improving the future unless you disturb the present.” –Catherine Booth, wife of the founder of the Salvation Army
God is trying to teach me the step from intentionality to action. It’s fairly easy for me to intend to serve the kingdom of God today. To seek and respond to opportunities to ‘disturb the present’ in a positive way is a higher calling. Guide me, Lord Jesus

“I am not young enough to know everything.” –Oscar Wilde
#1473 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May 22, 2025 The older I get, the more aware I am of how little I know. I was always a hungry learner if it was something I wanted to know about. Now I have set my sights on wisdom. “The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom. And with all your acquiring, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7) Knowledge has more to do with thinking and wisdom has more to do with living.

Family Sunday, missing loved ones…
#1475 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May 5, 2025 I have a daughter and a son and a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law and three granddaughters who live far away. I don’t think they all realize it yet, but God is intensely involved in their lives. I know this because He is intensely involved in ours and we have passed them on to Him. The most important thing we can do for our family is pray. Does that seem hard to believe?
