David's Daily Devotion for Oct. 27

October 27, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, October 27.

Since we’re in the middle of the World Series right now, here’s a bit of baseball history. On October 27, 1985, the New York Yankees fired their manager, Billy Martin. Coaches get fired all the time, that’s not news. But that was the fourth time that the Yankees had fired Martin. Four times! And that wasn’t even the last time. Three years later, they hired him again, and then, of course, fired him again. Crazy huh?

Netflix is premiering a movie tonight called “A House of Dynamite“. It’s a fictional account of what might happen if incoming, unidentified missiles showed up in U.S. airspace. I’m looking forward to seeing it. Yesterday, I read an article about this film that mentioned another film - a documentary about a real-life event. That movie is called “The Man Who Saved the World”.

On this day, in 1978, Mother Maybelle went to heaven. Maybelle Carter was born in 1909 in Nickelsville, Virginia (population 327). At the tender age of 18 she formed the legendary Carter Family Trio with her brother-in-law A.P. and her cousin Sara. June Carter was her daughter and Johnny Cash her son-in-law. It was all about family with Maybelle. And she is considered to be the “Mother” of country music.

Autumn takes her time showing her colors here in East Texas. We’re nearing November, and the trees are just now beginning to turn. Up north, the change happened weeks ago. Have you ever wondered what causes the reds and golds to appear? Well, in a word, it’s all about chlorophyll, or actually the lack of it.

Last Saturday something happened at my house in Tenaha, Texas that hasn’t happened in a long time. It rained. We’ve been suffering from a drought, but on Saturday afternoon we enjoyed a long, slow, soaking rain. And then, right after dark, we had a gulley-washer! It was just what we needed, and it was a blessing.

My favorite pianist is a man that I never heard play. Fredric Chopin died on this day in 1849. That was about 30 years before a man named Edison invented the phonograph. But Chopin was also a composer, and when you hear someone play one of his piano pieces, you get a glimpse of what it was like to hear the Maestro play.
