#511 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, February 19, 2023 First time I’ve been out on my back porch for cocktail hour in a while. It is not silent, but it sure sounds different than my study does. Does God change the tone of His voice? I suspect that tone and mood are human characteristics. His methods of communicating are immeasurable. O Lord, teach me to be a better listener.

Tuesday, or how God uses golf in my life…
#512 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, March 22, 2023 One of the best things about golf is that every course is different. Another of the best things about golf is playing the same course frequently with the same group of guys. Diversity and unity–sounds like a spiritual exercise to me.

Thursday, February 16, 2023 “Just remember that death is not the end..” — that is some great advice from Bob Dylan. “The last stop is trust..” — that is some great advice from me.

#514 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, February 22, 2023 God reveals so much of His glory and grace through nature, but there is not much that matches the stillness and quiet at dusk on a Spring evening for peacefulness. I have always preferred substance over flash.

$ Friday, week 2…
#515 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
October, 2022 According to the dealership mechanic, the 2009 Toyota Prius that I paid $10K for now requires $9,500 in repairs. Does not seem like a good investment. In the past this news would have caused me a great deal of stress. Confession: I’m still not thrilled about it. But Karen and I, in accordance, have committed our finances to the Lord, so we will roll with the punches and do what is needed–prayer and trust and pressing on. And I will try not to stress.
Afterword: Five months later, we are still getting by with one vehicle, with very little inconvenience to our daily schedules. Sometimes God provides by subtracting.

November, 2022 One of the things I love about my journey is that I’m never sure about where I am going. I mean, I know the destination but am unclear about how to get there. It is such a relief to know I am following, not leading–or wandering. That is the beauty of the journey…I have to pay attention or I won’t know which way to go. But the best thing about my journey is that I’m not alone.

Sunday is family day…
#517 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
MARCH, 2023 We have a family reunion coming up in three days. There will be 14 of us–me and Karen, our children and their families. Six granddaughters! I sometimes wonder if we did something wrong, for two of our children live far away (and we had to move to be close to the third). Perhaps it’s in their genes–my brother and four sisters are scattered across the globe, and Karen has sisters in North Carolina and Colorado. It does make it more fun when we can get together. Family is certainly one of God’s most precious gifts, but the gift should not hinder our relationship with the Giver.
