#358 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, August 12, 2022 This is my last entry into this notebook I have used for HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY–we have filled it! O how You have blessed me, Lord, with the inspiration to write again. Every day I am challenged to listen–to enjoy Your handiwork in creation–to see Your hand at work in my life–to observe how You touch the lives of others. “Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father…Morning by morning new mercies I see.” I hope we can fill many more notebooks together.

Friday, September 9, 2022 This might be more how Willie spoke to me than how God did, but Willie is close to God. My friend is convinced he can’t putt. He’ll say “I should be able to three putt that one,” or “How can I be confident when I suck?” He needs to listen to Willie:
“Imagine what you want
And get out of the way
Remember energy follows thought
So be careful what you say.”

#360 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, September 3, 2022 This, I think, is profound: “This, then, seems to be the work of the Spirit: to keep you growing is to keep you vulnerable to life and love itself. Notice that the major metaphors for the Spirit are always dynamic, energetic, and moving–elusive wind, descending dove, falling fire, and flowing water. Spirit-led people never stop growing and changing and recognizing the new moment of opportunity. How strange to think that so much of religion became a worship of the status quo, until you remember that the one thing the ego hates and fears more than anything is change.”

Sunday, September 25, 2022 There are very few things that will encourage an awareness of God’s presence as much as a walk in the woods with your granddaughter…

#362 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 2022 I want to tell you, my reader (whoever you are), the greatest blessing of my writing project–I have grown in the awareness that He is always here. Mind you, I still zone in and zone out and zone all over, but He doesn’t. He is quiet–God loves silence, He invites us to silence, He speaks in silence–but He is here. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

Sunday, September 18, 2022 This was my wife’s salvation verse:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he/she is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (II Corinthians:5:17) Love the comic!

#364 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, September 17, 2022 I was sitting next to a passionate man watching his daughter play volleyball today. She had a chance to serve to win the game, but she missed both serves (you get two at this level). His disappointment was palpable. I have watched someone I wanted to win fail in the big moment a hundred times. I wondered if he realized how temporal the disappointment is, and how eternal the love is? Apparently he did, because he gave her a big hug when the match ended shortly thereafter. Life is full of drama and tragedy…
