Some may ask why a blog and why "Tee2Green"? What does this mean? I like the game of golf and all golfers know how important it is to stay in the fairway and arrive on the green in regulation without visiting a hazard (the woods, out of bounds, a sand trap or water). Well I thought a blog might be a good forum to share some of my thoughts and I'm trying to relate these thoughts to spiritual living. The woods or out of bounds are things that pull us away from God and can cause harm to ourselves and others. Hopefully blogging, for me, will keep me in the fairway and out of the woods. If others happen to read and get something out of my blogging then that is like getting a hole in one - what a bonus.
In my mind, the "tee" is the start of every day and the "green" is the end of each day. We should begin each day with some time with God, praising him and showing gratitude for his grace. This is how I'm trying to live today, one day at a time and with an attitude of gratitude. I feel like if I have a foot in yesterday and foot in tomorrow then you know what I'm doing to today.
I read in James this week. "Out of the the same mouth come blessings and cursing. My brothers, these things should not be this way." James 3:10 (The golfer's bible)
I have a feeling if I were always God conscious (in other words pretend He is always standing right by my side) situations that used to baffle me, cause me to react negatively or shoot off at the mouth would be much easier to manage knowing God is standing next to me. The truth is - HE IS - it has just taken me 41 years to realize He is with me all the time.
God, please place a bit in my mouth (not too tight please) and remind me you are with me always. Please use this blog for whatever is your will. Amen.
