#1225 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Octo­ber 8, 2024 I con­sid­er myself an apo­lit­i­cal (adj. — unin­ter­est­ed and unin­volved in pol­i­tics) per­son. I do, how­ev­er, con­sid­er it my civic duty to vote. It aston­ish­es me that a man who has so clear­ly revealed his moral char­ac­ter can still be con­sid­ered a viable can­di­date to lead our coun­try. It espe­cial­ly grieves me that a large mea­sure of his sup­port is drawn from my Chris­t­ian broth­ers and sis­ters. I do not under­stand this, Lord Jesus. I trust some­day You will explain it to me. (Yes, we did vote)

Sep­tem­ber 22, 2024 “The beau­ti­ful thing about get­ting old­er is that we want few­er and few­er of life’s toys. It’s what we have inside, not out­side, that counts now.” –Joan Chittister
Apart from grous­ing about how we feel and what our bod­ies can no longer do (and our golf course, nat­u­ral­ly), many of us rec­og­nize that these could very well be the best years of our lives. Thanks for the plan, dear Lord.

Sep­tem­ber 24, 2024 My for­tune cook­ie: “It’s your atti­tude not your apti­tude that deter­mines your altitude.”
And so: “Broth­ers and sis­ters, I do not con­sid­er myself yet to have tak­en hold of it. But one thing I do: for­get­ting what lies behind and strain­ing toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heav­en­ward in Christ Jesus.” (Philip­pi­ans 3:13–14)
Enough said!

#1229 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sep­tem­ber 21, 2024 Today was my first expe­ri­ence with Cen­ter­ing Prayer. Ten of us sat in a cir­cle in an Epis­co­pal church in Cape Girardeau and med­i­tat­ed. Here are the four R’s of Cen­ter­ing Prayer: *Resist no thought. *Retain no thought. *React to no thought. *Return ever so gen­tly to the sacred word (I used a mantra). The pur­pose: to expe­ri­ence God’s pres­ence with­in us, clos­er than breath­ing, clos­er than think­ing, clos­er than con­scious­ness itself.
Sure enough, God was there.

August 8, 2024 “It is con­sis­ten­cy of con­scious­ness, the effort to put our­selves in the pres­ence of God over and over again in the course of the day, that pre­pares us for the abid­ing Pres­ence that is the home for the soul.” –Joan Chittister
That is my dai­ly goal, that con­sis­ten­cy of consciousness.

Sep­tem­ber 25, 2024 Of this I am cer­tain: God does not take sides in a mar­i­tal conflict.
