Feb­ru­ary, 2024 “All things came into being through Him; and apart from Him noth­ing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the dark­ness; and the dark­ness did not com­pre­hend it.” (John 1:3–5)

Golf Tues­day, deliv­ered early…
#895 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Feb­ru­ary, 2024 I shot a good round of golf today. It makes me feel a bit like a hyp­ocrite, since I believe that golf is a spir­i­tu­al exer­cise and I, there­fore, should be more con­cerned with the process than the results. But It sure is eas­i­er to be of good cheer when I am play­ing well. Hit­ting a great golf shot is one of the best feel­ings I know–like I am in rhythm with the uni­verse. It makes me hap­py. I sus­pect that God understands.

Jan­u­ary, 2024 Pray with­out ceas­ing. That means I can have a con­tin­u­ing inter­ac­tion with the Lord as I go about my activ­i­ties through­out my day–and evening–and night… He is always here for me. I don’t even have to speak–I can just direct a thought toward Him. He has an infi­nite num­ber of ways of respond­ing. That is why I am writ­ing this.

Jan­u­ary, 2024 I think of progress as mov­ing for­ward, what­ev­er the goal, but I don’t think God does. God will move me up or down or even back­ward with the goal of nur­tur­ing my soul by His Spir­it. All the move­ments are meant to train me to keep my eyes on Him. He is try­ing to trans­form my notion of progress.

Jan­u­ary, 2024 The inward jour­ney. I fear this is a way that much of Amer­i­can Chris­ten­dom sad­ly neglects (I know I did). Of course, prayer is part of it, but in prayer I do all the talk­ing. The inward jour­ney also involves lis­ten­ing and open­ing my heart and being still and breath­ing. It strength­ens my faith and com­mit­ment since it is just me and God. If I move from the inward to the out­ward, I have greater reserves to draw upon.

Jan­u­ary, 2024 “It is a great mis­take to think that God is chiefly inter­est­ed in reli­gion.” — William Tem­ple Amen and Hal­lelu­jah! If touch­ing base on Sun­day morn­ing is my idea of hav­ing a rela­tion­ship with the Lord (it’s not, thank­ful­ly), then I don’t have a real rela­tion­ship at all. I sus­pect He finds our reli­gious exer­cis­es a lit­tle bor­ing. God is chiefly inter­est­ed in life.

Fam­i­ly Sun­day over­rides Golf Tuesday…
#900 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
March 10, 2024 I have so many won­der­ful expe­ri­ences on the golf course, and enjoy play­ing with so many dif­fer­ent people–but the best of the best is play­ing with my son Zack, who loves golf as much as I do. Yes­ter­day we played Fields Ranch East, part of the new ginor­mous PGA golf com­plex right here in Frisco, as my upcom­ing birth­day gift–I don’t even want to think about how much it cost him! O Lord, thank You for the gift of hav­ing a lov­ing son (two actu­al­ly, and one daughter).
