David's Daily Devotion for October 7

October 7, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, October 7.

Did you know that you can take a picture of something with your smart phone - a plant, a flower, an animal, an object, anything - and then push a little button and your phone will tell you what it’s called and some facts about it? You probably already knew that, but I just learned about it last week. As far as modern technology goes, I’m usually way behind the learning curve. But I know it now, and I’ve been snapping photos to beat the band.

David's Daily Devotion for October 6

October 6, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, October 6.

On October 6, 1952, a new play opened in London. It was called “The Mousetrap”. Written by mystery author Agatha Christie, it got decent reviews from the critics, and Agatha thought it might run for a year, maybe two. It is STILL running! After 73 years, 400 different actors, 30,000 performances, and 10 million audience members, The Mousetrap has the record for the longest consecutive theatrical run in history. That’s a fantastic legacy of incredible longevity.

David's Daily Devotion for October 3

October 3, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, October 3.

Trinity Church, in lower Manhattan, was built in 1846. And for the next 25 years, it was the tallest building in America. In 1973, it was dwarfed by two new buildings, erected nearby. The twin towers of the World Trade Center had become America’s tallest skyscrapers. On the morning of September 11, 2001, the church sat, literally, in the shadow of those towers. And after they came down, and after the dust had settled, New Yorkers were amazed to see Trinity Church still standing. It was, literally, a miracle.

David’s Daily Devotion for Oct. 1

The crisp morning air. The cool evening breeze. The leaves changing color and falling from the trees. October is here and Autumn has begun. The season so nice, they named it twice!

Every time the seasons change, we’re reminded of God’s creation, of God’s control, of God’s plan. Here are some more reminders.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

David's Daily Devotion for September 19

Our world is full of senior citizens who are doing their thing and making their mark. Clint Eastwood, 95, is still working as a Hollywood director. Willie Nelson, at 92, continues to make records. Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones turns 82 this year and is planning another tour. And when Donald Trump ends his term, he will set the record for oldest sitting president in U.S. history.
