David’s Daily Devotion for March 25

March 25, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, March 25.

I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Palm Sunday. And now . . . on to Easter!  But what happened on all those days between the two famous Sundays?  Each day this week, we'll take a look.

On Monday, Jesus returned to Jerusalem. He and His disciples had spent Sunday night in Bethany, two miles east of the Holy City, at the home of good friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. But, on that morning, Jesus was in the temple.

Earlier this week, I gave a presentation to a regional teachers group. The program featured ten of my favorite daily devotions. Here's one that I wanted to reprint for you today - because it's about teachers and, in these first few days of Spring, celebrates the beauty of nature. It was originally posted January 16, 2021.

On March 20, 1928, it was a "beautiful day in the neighborhood," as Fred McFeely Rogers was born. Mister Rogers was a musician, a writer, a puppeteer, but he was also an ordained minister. And for 33 years, from 1968 to 2001, he was America's unofficial children's minister, as he hosted the TV show, "Mister Roger's Neighborhood."

My niece, Lesli, lives with her family in upstate New York, in a house built in the 1850's. That house was brand new when a new minister came to that town. His name was Maltbie Babcock. He was young, and he was determined to be an effective pastor to his flock. Whenever the burdens of his job grew too great, Babcock would go for long walks into one of the most beautiful parts of America. He would call to his young wife, "I'm going out to my Father's world!"

David’s Daily Devotion for Mar. 18

March 18, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, March 18.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring!  It's also called the vernal equinox - "vernal", Latin for spring, and "equinox", meaning equal night. On this day every year, the hours of light equal the hours of darkness. It happens in September, too, but that equinox leads to a cold winter. The celebration tomorrow leads to warm summer sunshine! Are you ready for that?

David's Daily Devotion for March 14

March 14, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, March 14.

My devotion today can be summed up in this familiar phrase, "one thing leads to another". On this day, in 1794, Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin. That word "gin" is short for "engine", and this new engine mechanically removed the seeds from cotton. Before Whitney's invention, this process was slow and labor intensive, and significantly reduced the profit margin of raising cotton.

March 13, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, March 13.

What did you get for Christmas this year? Do you even remember? One thing I usually ask Santa for is books, and last December a friend gave me a book, a book of theology. Doesn't sound very festive? Maybe not, but it's the Christmas gift that's made the greatest impact on my life.
