#141 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, February 20, 2022 The intent, the purpose, the meaning of my writing project becomes more clear to me every day. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ, my living savior. We interact day by day. His interactions are subtle, but profound and joyous. He is teaching me how to become what I should be. I want to share what I am learning, because I don’t think there is anything more wonderful than believing in Him. I realize that this opportunity is available to every soul on earth. And so I write.

If it’s Tuesday, it must be golf…
#142 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Thursday, February 10, 2022 This I have learned (over and over again): God is only as present as I allow Him to be–especially on a golf course. I am fighting so many spiritual battles: playing well without allowing my ego to blow up, playing competitively without wishing ill for my competition, playing for money without caring about the money, playing badly without blaming something, accepting a bad break without whining. Add to that the wide range of emotions that can be experienced during a round of golf. Of course, His presence is the solution to every one of those battles. Who says that playing golf is not a spiritual exercise?

#143 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, February 7, 2022 I have a lot of down time, especially when the weather is bad like the last few days. I do crosswords and jigsaw puzzles, watch sports talk shows, practice putting, etc. God has been impressing upon me, not that those things are bad, but that I can use some of that time to reach out to people. A phone call or an email or just a text–to my children or their spouses, to family members, to friends (current, from the past, even long ago and far away). Isn’t that the “more excellent way” that the Apostle Paul talks about?

Appropriate for a Valentine’s Day communique…
#144 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Many Christians feel that if God wants to speak to you, He will do it with the Bible. No doubt He does that all the time. But if I limit Him to that one channel, aren’t I shutting Him out of a whole lot of my life? I believe He speaks to me when a grandchild sits on my lap, when a butterfly lands on a flower before my eyes, when I see a need and meet it–any time love waves its magic wand in my life–and it does that all the time! I suppose I can be accused of “spiritualizing” everyday events. But aren’t we taught that the Spirit of God is constantly moving throughout the world, seeking to do good? I want to learn to recognize the movement.

I get these flashes of inspiration…
#145 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, March 5, 2022 Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.” Jesus is not at all–zero percent–egotistical about being Jesus. It’s an invitation, not a qualification.

#146 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, August 25, 2021 God spoke to me in recounting my LSD experiences to an old friend. He made me aware that He was at work in my life long before I had my conversion experience. Despite its explosiveness and disruption, it helped me to realize that there was a spiritual plane, an unseen reality, that mattered significantly in my everyday life. That is when I became a seeker–Jesus is when I became a finder. I think we Christians have somehow used the Trinity to limit our spiritual experiences when the Trinity should, in fact, broaden them. The Spirit is always moving all over the planet, finding ways to do good.

#147 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, February 19, 2022 Once saved, always saved. My brother-in-law, a Catholic, and I got into an interesting discussion about that doctrine. To me that is the key–it is a doctrine. I am in a relationship. I am perfectly content to let Jesus take care of the eternity part of it. After all, He has experience–He rose from the dead. I want to learn to respond to Him right now. Save me NOW, Lord Jesus.
