#1420 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 28, 2025 Some won­der­ful insights about aging from our Stephen Min­istry meet­ing tonight: *True peace becomes more acces­si­ble as we age–we have less stress­es and we have more faith. *Oppor­tu­ni­ties to express love to oth­ers increase in new and small and unseen ways–most peo­ple want atten­tion more than any­thing else. *If we will lis­ten (and ask ques­tions), they will talk. *Being still and know­ing that God is God is a dis­ci­pline that can be practiced–and it’s a gate­way to com­mu­nion with God.

One of my heroes…
#1421 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 24, 2025 Today my 95 year old friend and I went to our favorite meat mar­ket 50 miles away. This guy is so sharp–he nav­i­gat­ed me through a maze of coun­try roads bet­ter than any GPS I ever used. I even got to see where he was raised out in the coun­try in the 1930’s (the house was gone). He goes to the Senior Cen­ter ‘most every day’ to play pool or chair vol­ley­ball. God has reaf­firmed the best senior phys­i­cal fit­ness advice I ever got: “You got­ta keep movin’ or you’ll be left behind.”

ooops, Golf Wednes­day this week…
#1422 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
April 11, 2025 We have had a week of per­fect Texas weath­er. I played alot of golf, I sat out on my porch every evening, I worked on my writ­ing project, I watched a movie with my wife–then I woke up and did it again. I want to be vig­i­lant to God’s direc­tion, and I want to take advan­tage of every oppor­tu­ni­ty He gives me to express love for oth­ers (there are many), but I also rec­og­nize God pro­vides rest and relax­ation and an enjoy­ment of life’s plea­sures in my retirement.

Zing!
#1423 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May 3, 2025 We saw a new bird (not ever, but not here before). It is a Bal­ti­more ori­ole. It’s like God took out His mag­ic wand and zing! added a lit­tle sparkle to the day.

A med­i­ta­tion…
#1424 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Feb­ru­ary 17, 2025 My breath­ing is like the waves of the sea rolling against the shore; every exha­la­tion is a push for­ward, clos­er to the king­dom of heav­en, and every inhala­tion is draw­ing back with­in myself, know­ing a wave will roll again. It’s a won­der­ful image…I don’t even want to think about the tides.
(Pho­to includes my grand­daugh­ter, my son, and my sister)

Do you believe in magic?

April 21, 2025 “The world is full of mag­i­cal things, patient­ly wait­ing for our sens­es to grow sharp­er.” — W.B. Yeats
I sus­pect that is the work of the Holy Spir­it, sharp­en­ing our sens­es so that we per­ceive this mag­i­cal world the way we were intend­ed to.

One of the peaks of Fam­i­ly Sunday…

May 11, 2025 “Moth­er is the name for God in the lips and hearts of lit­tle chil­dren.” — William Make­peace Thackeray
Moth­er’s Day–once again one of my favorite days of the year. We had our tra­di­tion­al pic­nic at the Dal­las Arbore­tum. Weath­er was per­fect, food was deli­cious, three grand­daugh­ters were adorable, and we were graced with the pres­ence of two of the most won­der­ful moth­ers I know. Thank You, Lord
