Waiting for Him

You will be with child and give birth to a son, you are to give to him the name Jesus. He will be great and be called Son of the Most High. The Lord will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. Luke 1:31-33

God bless us while we await the birth of a new Spirit in us, AMEN

Golfing in the Wind

let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance...Proverbs 1:5

Supposed to play this morning, but when I went outside to check on the weather I was about blown off my feet. So I called and cancelled. I hated to do it as I haven't played in a week!! I don't mind playing in a little wind, but this is too much.

Actually, there are some tips you can use when playing in the wind. If you are playing in a headwind remember what Greg Norman said at the British open in 1996 (he won!) "Swing with ease into the breeze". I think he was quoting another great??? Good tips: 1) Select more club to decrease the height of the shot 2) Play the ball back in your stance 3) Slow down to 80% of your regular swing speed.

If you are lucky and have a tailwind remember: 1) Play the ball forward in your stance 2) hit it higher (less club) 3) remember it will roll on you.

Guidance and tips...we love them. In this busy Christmas season have you remembered to get out the book that gives the best guidance of all? Get it out and reread Luke. Please.

Mary Answered

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered."May it be to me as you have said." Luke 1:38

I believe. But I don't always listen, nor answer. What a wonderful life I could have if I would listen more often. How much better would the world be if I answered? What would it be like if I acted as Mary did?
I believe that if Mary had not stopped to listen, or if she had heard but not accepted, the Creator would have gone to another. But, she did accept the angel's words and became our Lord's mother. What an amazing woman, what a glorious servant.
Would I learn to stop, listen, accept and act as Mary. May it be to me as You say, not as I want.
