#1571 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 22, 2025 If I have a reset button, it is this simple verse: “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10). No matter how far I have drifted, it can point me back to the center of my faith.

August 9, 2025 “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever…” –Westminster Catechism
No doubt I fall short on both ends, but I especially want to learn to enjoy Him more. It’s impossible to enjoy Him without realizing He is here–otherwise I am just enjoying His gifts. The awareness of His presence is the mustard seed–it just wants to grow. If I factor in that He is with me every decision I make, I will always make better decisions, for me and for the world. But it is always my decision. Teach me, Lord, to enjoy You more

#1574 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 24, 2025 This from my quiet time: “The healthy religious person is the one who allows God to do the saving and the leading, while doing their little part to bring up the rear. It always feels like a loss of power and certitude at the beginning, which is why it is called faith and why true Biblical faith is somewhat rare. God is always the initiator and the mover. All we do is second the motion.” –Richard Rohr

A song of hope as I contemplate my mortality..
#1575 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 19, 2025 From good ol’ Bob Dylan:
“When you’re sad and when you’re lonely
and you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred falls down
and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end”

A little bathroom humor…
#1576 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 6, 2025 One of the side effects of taking opioids (for my rotator cuff surgery) is constipation. Having never had much experience with this ailment, I went into my fifth day with considerable consternation, so much so that Karen and I prayed about it. I had a breakthrough at 4 a.m. the next morning–I suspect there have been more spiritual experiences on a toilet than one would expect.

An oldie I forgot about on Family Sunday…
#1577 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 22, 2025 Checking in with God at the national volleyball tournament: I confess I haven’t been this excited watching a sporting event since the Spurs won their last championship in 2014. After two days, four wins and one excruciating 3 set loss, Harlie’s team is ranked 12th out of 36 remaining teams, still with a shot at the championship. The level of play is phenomenal–how can 13 year old girls be so good? Karen and I know better than to pray for a win–we sit on the edge of our chairs and think Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What fun!
