David’s Daily Devotional for December 10

December 10, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, December 10.

Thanks for joining us in our holiday series that will lead to Christmas Eve. At the center of this special season is the Nativity Story found in the Gospel of Luke. That word “gospel” means “good news,” and today we take a look at the Bible characters who were the first to hear the good news from Bethlehem - the shepherds.

David's Daily Devotion for December 9

December 9, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, December 9.

This morning we continue our Christmas series that will feature thoughts on Christmas culture, profiles of Christmas characters, and stories behind Christmas songs. Today’s focus isn’t really a song, but it stands as one of the most famous pieces of Christmas music in history. Today we look at Handel’s “Messiah.”

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 8

December 8, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, December 8.

This morning we begin a series that will take us all the way to Christmas Eve. A series featuring thoughts on the culture, the carols, the characters of Christmas. And to get us started - here’s some Christmas quotes.

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!” - Buddy, the Elf

“Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas means a little bit more.” - The Grinch

December 5, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, December 5.

Have you heard of the “Einstein Visa?” It’s intended for foreign nationals who have “extraordinary abilities” in business, science, the arts, sports, education, etc. It provides these extraordinary people with permanent residence status in America. It’s named after the truly extraordinary Albert Einstein.

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 3

December 3, 2025 - On December 3, 1966, Luna 8, a spacecraft from Russia, crash landed on the Moon. Just a bit of space trivia. But a reminder, surprising to some, that when the Eagle landed at Tranquility Base in the summer of 1969, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard, it wasn’t the first time that a man-made object had touched the lunar surface.

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 1

December 1, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, December 1.

Henry Ford had the idea to produce an automobile, the Model-T, on a moving line, an assembly line. This idea reduced the time of production from a full day to an hour and a half. It also, amazingly, reduced the price of his car from $780 to $290. That would be like slashing the price of a Ford, today, from $25,000 to $5,000! A new Model-T came off the assembly line every 3 minutes. And the first one came off on the morning of December 1, 1913.

David’s Daily Devotional for November 25

November 25, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, November 25.

We continue our Thanksgiving series, with the story of another Bible character who was thankful.

Leprosy is considered by historians to be the first recorded disease. Scientific proof dates back to at least 2000 BC, and Hippocrates wrote about leprosy five centuries before Bethlehem. It was incurable, and those who contracted it were quarantined -  not for 14 days, like during the Covid pandemic - but for the rest of their lives.
