#323 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Saturday, July 20, 2022 Not often, but I can suffer from “creeping unworthiness.” It’s that place where my faith in God is fine–no doubts He’s there, doing good, being loving. But I know I’m not worth it, I’m not living up to it, I’m slow-playing the relationship–it’s all true. God has no comment to my unworthiness. God says, “Quit looking at you and look at Me.”

#324 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, August 17, 2022 I am on a five day golf trip to Durango, Colorado with ten other men. Part of me is wondering what I am doing here while God is whispering “No, no, this is exactly where I want you.” Here is my realization: Every conversation matters. I believe that one of the deepest needs for ever single human being is for someone to listen. I don’t have a great history as a listener–my mind tends to wander or think about what I want to say–but I am learning. If I listen, people open up their hearts.

#325 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, July 24, 2022 I do not have a sense of mission. I am a retired man living out the end of my days. But I have the time and the motivation to pay attention to God. That makes it such a rich and glorious stage in my life. Of course, it makes me wish I had paid more attention to this relationship earlier in my life–I was pretty into doing things my way. But no regrets. He is here with me. That is why I love doing this writing project.

#326 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Tuesday, August 16, 2022 Tonight I am struck by the immensity of God’s heart. If our entire planet is like a grain of sand in light of the universe, then what is my single life? I am less than an atom–and He chooses to be intimately aware of me! And not just aware…John says we are children of God because that is the dearest metaphor he can find to illustrate how precious (as mere atoms) we are to God. How can we resist loving Him back?

#327 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Sunday, August 28, 2022 God has informed me that the rest of my life is about relationships. First and foremost, me and Him (Thou shalt love the Lord God…). And next, me and every relationship He brings into my life (…and your neighbor as yourself.) But if I don’t have the former, the latter breaks down.

#328 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, August 22, 2022 A bedtime dialogue:
Me: Goodnight, honey. Sleep well and we shall begin our journey anew tomorrow.
She: What a nice way to put it!
Me: It was, wasn’t it?
She: Are you shaving tomorrow?

#329 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, August 12, 2022 One of the billion reasons I love God is because He will put me in a situation where I think it is about one thing and it turns out it was about something else entirely.
