#1197 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
June 3, 2024 Positive self-image or ego? That line keeps dancing. Does it come down to who I put first, myself or others? I’m so used to putting myself first that I barely notice it. But God says be vigilant. When my selfish interest in a situation rises, I can detect it. I feel best about myself when I am doing something to help someone else–that’s positive self-image.

Golf Tuesday, club championship part 2…
#1198 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 12, 2024 I finished playing in our 2‑day Senior Men’s Golf club championship today. I played extremely well the second day, the best I’ve ever don in a highly-charged pressure situation. Of course, I played middle of the road the first day, so I didn’t win anything, but it was still fun. It is easier for me to sense His presence on a golf course, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into a better performance. Today it did. Thanks for the exercise, Lord Jesus.

July 5, 2024 “…a steadfast determination to believe…” That is my aim every morning when I wake up. It’s supposed to be my part of the bargain. His is to be there. He’s better at His job than I am at mine. Of course He is always here. I have to cultivate an awareness of His presence. That’s where…a steadfast determination to believe…comes in.

September 5, 2024 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each one of you regard one another as more important than himself.” (Philippians 2:3). Whoa! MORE IMPORTANT? Really? That is Sermon-on-the-Mount Christianity there. Can’t do it without You, Lord Jesus.

August 15, 2024 “The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil.” (I Timothy 6:10). Amen. I am continually challenged by that verse, such as, when: *we have a car or house dysfunction and I face the possibility of a major repair bill; *we have a self-inflicted large expense, like a vacation; *there’s a sudden fall in the financial markets; *we incur a health expense; *I find an error not in our favor on the grocery receipt; *I have leftovers I don’t want to eat; *I get shut out on the daily bet on the golf course. I know, from the unavoidable to the ridiculous. And God has always, even in the lean times, faithfully provided. God says: I’ll watch over your finances and you watch over your heart, for “…where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)

#1203 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 5, 2024 Life is a journey, but retrospectively I see that it breaks down to stages. Some stages are common to most of us, but others are a matter of choice and destiny. Every stage has a starting point. I believe all three of my children are hitting starting points of a new stage. I’m glad, because that is a sign of progress on the journey, and it is possible to get stuck. I’m very proud of them.
