David's Daily Devotion for June 28

June 28, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Tuesday, June 28.

On June 28, 1914, an historic event occurred that changed the world forever. Five thousand miles from the United States, a European arch-duke was shot and killed. The ripples from that moment triggered World War I, and five years later, when the war finally ended, the death toll had reached nine million - many of them young American men.

On June 24, 1901, a very famous man was born in Brown County, Indiana. His name was Charles Hollis Taylor. Doesn't ring a bell? Hold on, I bet you've heard of him. Indiana is a state that's crazy about basketball, and so Chuck, as he was known, grew up in the right place. He played high school ball and then was part of several semi-pro teams that barnstormed around the country.

Yesterday afternoon, the lights went out in Center, Texas. For several hours, over a thousand homes and businesses (including First Baptist Church) had no power. At least we were able to go outside and enjoy the 100-degree breezes... yikes! But, by suppertime, order - and air conditioning - had been restored.

On June 21, 1948, the Columbia Recording Company introduced a new product. Since the early 1920’s, the world had been listening to discs that were made from shellac and that played at the speed of 78 revolutions per minute. These “records” had a poor, scratchy quality and were only five minutes long. The new product, on vinyl, had five times that length and a smooth, clear sound. The world of music had changed forever.

Over the next few days, I’ll be outnumbered by females... in my own home! My two daughters and my granddaughter will be visiting, and when you add in my wife - that’s four to one. Outnumbered! And very happily so. We haven’t seen our youngest (the New Yorker) since Christmas. A sweet reunion.

David’s Daily Devotion for June 18

June 18, 2022 - It’s Saturday, June 18.

My father was born on June 18, 1913, in North Zulch, Texas - a northern suburb of Greater Metropolitan Zulch. Just kidding. It was, and still is, a largely rural area about a hundred miles north of Houston. His father was a sharecropper, which means he worked incredibly hard, and someone else got most of the profits. At least my grandfather had a 16 member farm team - his 16 children! It was a culture built on hard work, with little opportunity for education. And then something happened that changed my dad's destiny.
