You say yes, I say no…

September 24, 2025 One of Jesus’s most ignored instructions is: “…turn the other cheek.” (Matthew 5:39) When it comes to conflict resolution, most people would rather keep score than reach an agreement.

Golf Tuesday, an anomaly…
#1565 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 12, 2025 An amazing occurrence: At 7:30 on a Saturday evening (close to dark) I have just watched two foursomes of women play past my porch–seemingly unrelated, one Asian, one white. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one foursome of women playing at that time of day! For some reason it makes me feel optimistic. Like Dylan said–the times they are a‑changing. Just not as quickly as we had hoped.

Silver linings…
#1566 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 11, 2025 Injury and pain slow time down–everybody knows that. I am getting the first glimmers of how this is not necessarily a bad thing. Whether it is four or five or six months before I play golf again becomes less important. So has my blog, in a way. What sustains me in the midst of my trial is the knowledge of His presence. I am aiming for that knowledge to become awareness–it is a gradual process. It’s nice of God to slow it down for me so I can pay more attention to it.

How appropriate for National Poetry Day!
#1567 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 13, 2025 Through the wonderful Emily Dickinson, informing me there is always a choice:
I had no time to hate because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I could finish enmity.
Nor had I time to love, but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.

It’s not what you know, it’s Who…
#1568 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 23, 2025 As I draw nearer to God (that is a statement of trust, not of accomplishment), I am less concerned about my doctrine and more concerned about my heart. Does that concern you?

Knock, knock, who’s there?
#1569 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 6, 2025 My biggest hindrance to my faith is my self. I have to continuously remind myself that God is bigger than my perception of Him. Walking with God is about letting go not holding on–about receiving not achieving–about who He is not who I am–about hearing not telling–about you not me. C’mon in, Lord Jesus

Family Sunday at the table…
#1570 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
September 29, 2025 I remember from The Waltons (or one of those shows) the tradition of Sunday Family Dinner. We fell upon that old chestnut today at Zack’s house (with the added bonus of Kallie’s dad Bob). Great conversation and food enhanced by the presence of three young girls living life to the fullest. Everything in the Bible confirms God’s approval of communal meals–I get it, Lord
