#1371 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
March 15, 2025 This is how God works: Karen and I have trip to New Orleans planned to see my brother and his wife for the weekend. Turns out one of my very best friends from San Antonio is in NO the same weekend for his daughter’s volleyball tournament. Karen and Gert go to a play, my brother chills, and I get to spend Saturday afternoon hanging out with Sean and watching Haley power through the tournament. God is good.

March 13, 2025 “Golf with friends is the perfect blend of competition and camaraderie, where every shot is an adventure and every round is a celebration.” –unknown
Nowhere is this truth more evident than on one of our golf getaways. Thanks to my friends for going and to the Lord for enabling.

January 25, 2025 Our pastor preached today on “…Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of my enemies…” She equated “enemies” with the suffering and pain and tragedy which is thrust upon us by the power of evil in this world, that which would separate us from God. I can see that. I have also thought of my “enemies” as qualities like greed and sloth and envy and pride, that can bubble up from within and poison the table set before me. I can combat all of these enemies by cultivating the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control)–which also bubble up from within.

February 24, 2025 This from my quiet time: “We see Jesus’s faith being tested in the temptation scenes in Luke 4:13. The basic question, put before Him three times, is this: ‘Is God to be trusted?’ That is the great question the human race is asking at the most basic level. We hear Jesus answer, ever more resoundingly, Yes, God is on your side. Yes, God is more for you than you are for yourself.” –Richard Rohr
It is so simple: Before, above, beyond, in spite of all–trust God.

February 2, 2025 God is the air. That is how close He is and that is how much every one of us depends on Him. How accessible He is! How consistent! This whole wonderful journey is about coming forth from Him and going back to Him. Dear Lord Jesus, continue to guide me back to You.

#1376 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
March 6, 2025 The very best thing about being a Christian is that I can get to know Jesus way better than I could hope to know God. God is inconceivable, unfathomable, ungraspable, and, dare I say it, remote. Jesus is here. Jesus said, “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9). The inconceivable becomes personal. God is my friend. The Holy Spirit confirms this in my heart. I love being a Christian.

March 15, 2025 “Memories are not the key to the past but to the future.” –Corrie Ten Boom. Except for the Lord Jesus, I don’t believe there is a person on the planet who has exerted more influence on my development than my dear brother Carl. Bless him, Lord
