September 12, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Tuesday, September 12.

It's my honor and blessing to teach the broadcast Sunday School lesson each week at First Baptist Center. This 9am Bible study goes out, as does our 10:15 worship service, to friends here in Shelby County on local FM radio and cable TV, and to friends around the world on the internet at fbccenter.org and Facebook FBC Center, Texas.

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 11

September 11, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Monday, September 11.

There are moments that happen in every generation that are so earth shattering, that everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.  For my parent's generation it was December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  For my generation it was November 22, 1963, the assassination of President Kennedy.  And for all of us, it was September 11, 2001.

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 7

September 7, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, September 7.

On September 7, 1860, a baby girl was born. Her name was Anna Mary Robertson. Doesn't ring a bell? Maybe you know her nickname - Grandma Moses. She is considered, by many, to be one of America's greatest folk art painters. But the real story is about when she earned that honor. Grandma Moses didn't start painting until she was 78 years old!

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 5

September 5, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Tuesday, September 5.

I must begin today with an apology. These little daily thoughts, in addition to being published on the Shelby County Today website, go out in hundreds of emails, many of them to people who are not fortunate enough to live in the great state of Texas. There's going to be some "Texas bragging" in this devotion, and so, to all those unfortunate readers out there, I offer my heartfelt apology.

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 1

September 1, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Friday, September 1.

This morning, our church has the honor of hosting a meeting of first responders. Men and women, who, a few days ago, were on the scene of a car accident that claimed one of their own, a young deputy. They will be meeting this morning just to talk, to talk about things that you and I will never know.

David's Daily Devotion for August 31

August 31, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, August 31.

On this day, in 1990, something happened in Major League Baseball that had never happened before. A father and son started for the same team. Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. batted back-to-back in the first inning, each hit a single, and each scored, leading the Seattle Mariners to a win. A memorable moment.
