David’s Daily devotion for March 2

March 2, 2022 - We're still 18 days away from the first day of spring, but here in Shelby County, Texas, we're starting to see some signs that the season is changing.  And we're grateful to God for that.  The beginning of spring, on March 20, falls on Sunday this year.  And we're planning a series of devotions during the week prior, that will focus on our Creator and on His creation.  Hope you can join us for those thoughts.

David’s Daily Devotion for March 1

March 1, 2022 - Today is a day that's known by several names.  Some call it "Mardi Gras" or "Fat Tuesday".  Others refer to it as "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day".  What's all this about?  Well, basically, it's all wrapped up in the fact that today is the last day before Lent, that six-week season in the traditional church calendar that leads to Easter.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 28

February 28, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, February 28.

Don’t look now, but February is about to be in the rear-view mirror. Is it just me, or is 2022 flying by like a freight train? March is on the doorstep and the first day of Spring is less than three weeks away. We’ll do a series in March about our Creator, and about His beautiful creation.

Alexander Pope was an English poet in the early 1700's. After Shakespeare, he may be the most quoted writer in history. Here are just a few of his memorable thoughts - 

  • To err is human, to forgive, divine.
  • Fools rush in, where angels fear to trod.
  • Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
  • A little learning is a dangerous thing.

And my personal favorite - "Hope springs eternal".

On February 24, 1909, a new business was started. It was called the Hudson Motor Car Company. It was very successful. At its' peak it was a close third to Ford and Chevy.  Millions of people around the world drove Hudson cars.

So, seen many Hudson's on the road lately? Ever seen a Hudson? Probably not, since they went out of business close to seventy years ago! Success is fleeting. Here today, gone tomorrow.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 23

February 23, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, February 23.

Quick! What’s the last word in the Bible? Did you guess “amen”? That’s right! In Revelation 22:21 the apostle John writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen.” How appropriate that the Bible ends with that word, since, in the Bible, it is most often used at the end of prayers and proclamations of praise. It's the same way you and I use it today. "So be it!" "It is true!"

Yesterday - on President's Day - we looked at the religious affiliations of our chief executives. We found that all but three were officially connected to some denomination, to some church. These three included Andrew Johnson, Thomas Jefferson, and, surprisingly, Abraham Lincoln. I say surprisingly, because no other president, no other politician for that matter, has so powerfully used the Bible in their speeches, as did Lincoln.

Part of the training that goes into becoming a Navy pilot involves learning what to do . . . when you crash. Often, it's been found, when a plane crash lands into water, that the pilot loses all sense of what's up and what's down – and may actually be swimming toward the bottom instead of the surface. The trainers teach a surefire solution – blow out a little air and follow the bubbles – they always go to the top!
