Feb­ru­ary, 2024 Con­fes­sion: My dai­ly life is pret­ty easy. A few church respon­si­bil­i­ties, some peo­ple I can help out, lots of friends to enjoy, a mar­riage to nur­ture, a house to help main­tain, fam­i­ly to love, junior sports to watch, a blog to write…so easy it makes me won­der can I real­ly be fol­low­ing God? Egad. When I turn my eyes from me to Him, those fears sub­side. I believe God is enjoy­ing O/our retire­ment as much as I am.

April, 2024 We had our End-of-Month tour­na­ment today–my broth­er-in-law and I were the big win­ners ($48/ea.). Of course, it’s fun to win (and rare for me), but I real­ize that the sat­is­fac­tion of play­ing well out­weighs the prospect of a finan­cial reward. And yet, after my next round I will scur­ry into the club­house, anx­ious to see if our team has won any mon­ey. As my broth­er Paul wrote: “O wretched man that I am!” (Romans 7:24)

March, 2024 Bring­ing God down to my lev­el or going up to His? Both, def­i­nite­ly! I need to rec­og­nize His pres­ence as I go about my nor­mal day (my lev­el). I need to receive His wis­dom in how to respond to the occur­rences of my day (His lev­el), What a glo­ri­ous dai­ly adven­ture! O Lord, oper­ate my elevator.

March, 2024 I have one of those watch­es that also mon­i­tors my heart rate, my stress lev­el, my steps, and how well/long I slept. I have been wear­ing it for at least two years, and I’m still not sure how useful/accurate this infor­ma­tion is. Can track­ing my stress lev­el stress me out? I do believe that sim­ple faith in God for my well-being is more effec­tive than any data that my watch can provide.

April, 2024 Par­tial­i­ty (n.) an unfair pref­er­ence for one per­son or group over anoth­er. I fre­quent­ly fall vic­tim to par­tial­i­ty: play­ing with a cer­tain group of golfers–listening more atten­tive­ly to this per­son than that person–eager phone calls as opposed to oblig­a­tory phone calls. In God there is no par­tial­i­ty. (Romans 2:11) Par­tial­i­ty has the effect of clos­ing my heart. Keep me open, Lord Jesus.

Feb­ru­ary, 2024 I believe that God speaks to every­one. Why do we (col­lec­tive­ly) do such a poor job of lis­ten­ing? His voice is full of hope and promise and delight. We think we can do a bet­ter job of run­ning our lives on our own. Fool­ish­ness and pride. He does­n’t want to con­trol us–He wants to show us. Eyes to see and ears to hear, Lord Jesus.

Hap­py Moth­er’s Day, you saint­ly women…
#963 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May 12, 2024 On an excel­lent wife: “Her chil­dren rise up and bless her; her hus­band also, and he prais­es her..” (Proverbs 31:28). I guess the most accu­rate mea­sure of moth­er­hood is the loy­al­ty and devo­tion and love that she gen­er­ates in her chil­dren. My beloved wife comes up aces with all three. I know they love me also, but if one is upset or out of sorts or trou­bled, there is no ques­tion of who they will call. I love you, Karen.
