#1558 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 29, 2025 God has a way of cajol­ing me out of poten­tial funks. While I am under­go­ing the ear­ly stages of my rota­tor cuff surgery (and thus no golf), I have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cre­ate the video for the End of Year par­ty for our Senior Men’s Group. My stu­dents and I used to make short movies in my Cre­ative Writ­ing class­es, and that was one of my favorite cre­ative out­lets. How­ev­er, I haven’t done that in 14 years. A chal­lenge and an inspi­ra­tion. Thanks, Lord

August 25, 2025 Do it now. As I intend to walk with God in the present, this mes­sage keeps pop­ping up. Of course it applies to dai­ly respon­si­bil­i­ties (…feed the dog), self-dis­ci­pline (…I should exer­cise), and prayer (“Let’s pray togeth­er” not “I’ll pray for you..”). The most impor­tant appli­ca­tion has to do with human con­tact: show­ing affec­tion, not just feel­ing it; call­ing the old friend, not just think­ing about it; reach­ing out to the per­son in pain, not just sym­pa­thiz­ing; being char­i­ta­ble to those endur­ing dis­as­ter, not just cluck­ing my tongue, God moves in the present. Move me, Lord Jesus

Sep­tem­ber 10, 2025 Here is Bil­ly String’s take on my insomnia:
I’ve had days as black as nighttime
And nights that last­ed years
I spent a thou­sand hours on my knees
Broke down and start­ed praying
But I was plead­ing with the wind
Just to nev­er feel the dif­fer­ence in the breeze
They say heav­en knows the road is slow
Lord, how the hell would heav­en know?
Just where am I sup­posed to go from here?
How much longer now before I’m in the clear?
Noth­ing fos­ters hyper­bole (lit­er­ary & emo­tion­al) like insomnia.

Sep­tem­ber 15, 2025 The first book that con­vinced me that I could have a per­son­al, inter­ac­tive rela­tion­ship in the present with Jesus Christ was Prac­tic­ing the Pres­ence of God by Broth­er Lawrence. He was a monk work­ing in the monastery kitchen, and that’s what he focused on each day. I pur­sue that con­stan­cy. It’s like the psalmist urges us: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)

Sep­tem­ber 7, 2025 Re-learned today: “It’s a gift to joy­ful­ly rec­og­nize and accept your own small­ness and ordi­nar­i­ness. Then you are free, with noth­ing to prove and noth­ing to pro­tect. Such free­dom is my best descrip­tion of Chris­t­ian matu­ri­ty because, once you know that your ‘I’ is one with God, you can, iron­i­cal­ly, be quite con­tent with a small and ordi­nary ‘I’.” –Richard Rohr
First learned in 1965: “When you ain’t got noth­in’, you got noth­in’ to lose.” –Bob Dylan

August 29, 2025 It’s always dif­fi­cult to see some­one in my fam­i­ly going through a trou­ble­some time. Why is it so much hard­er for me to trust God for their prob­lems than it is for mine. That’s ridicu­lous. My anx­i­ety does­n’t do a thing for them or for me. Increase my faith, Lord Jesus
