It’s Marching Order Monday! (explanation below…)
#393 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, October 10, 2022 God has been impressing certain things upon my heart, things I believe he wants me to be aware of on a regular basis, things that will help me navigate the road. I call them marching orders: *Be present. I’m no biblical scholar, but I read somewhere that the most oft-repeated phrase Jesus uses is “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” At hand means here and now. That is where the energy is.

Golf Tuesday…
#394 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, August 24, 2022 As I reflect on my five day golf trip to Durango, I realize I was witness to two miracles. These are not Red Sea miracles–you almost had to be me to notice them. I call them the wallet/cellphone miracle and the early departure miracle, and a few of the guys I was with would recognize them. The point is that He wants such a personal relationship–He is right here in the midst of my troubles.

Friday, October 14, 2022 I am giving my family to the Lord. I am consecrating them (…to dedicate to a divine purpose). No religious ritual here–just hope they will realize their lives are also spiritual journeys. I don’t just mean my children and theirs. I’m consecrating the whole family tree! We have been very blessed on the material side of the two planes–may we carry that over to the spiritual side, where the riches are even greater.

Monday, September 19, 2022 Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. I’ve been reflecting on how gently God handles me. I could have bad things happen. I’m not smart or pure or careful enough to protect myself. It’s likely I have some harsh events ahead of me. But I believe two things: …that He will be with me…and I will know it. So I am not worried. Still, I sure do enjoy the gentleness. Teach me to be gentle, Lord.

Sunday, October 16, 2022 Having observed the willfulness of a six year old child, I realize the human ego is so deeply implanted, the “self” as the center of the universe so firmly ingrained…it is a miracle that the Holy Spirit is ever able to get through to us.

Friday, October 21, 2022 This one is convicting, but there is truth: “Do you ever wonder why Western atheism is on the rise? Why does the Christian West, by far, produce the highest number of atheists? What I believe, and have dedicated my life to reversing, is that we have not moved doctrine and dogma to the level of inner experience. As long as ‘received teaching’ doesn’t become experiential knowledge, we’re going to continue to create a high quantity of disillusioned ex-believers. Or on the flip side, we’ll manufacture very rigid believers who simply hold on to doctrines in very dry, dead ways with nothing going on inside.”

#399 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, October 29, 2022 I am home alone for eight days. Well, I have Spice. I love having extended alone times, but it seems like my spiritual state is given to more extremes–from adoration to lethargy. I think I become more self-absorbed when I am alone, like I’m carrying a mirror. There’s only one way to the high road: I AM not alone. Never was, never will be. I do not have to navigate those extremes on my own. He will guide me. The choice moves from one of will power to one of faith, a far more comfortable resting point.
