Gathering in His name…
#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.

Do you believe in magic?
#1425 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
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.

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
