David’s Daily Devotion for April 7

April 7, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, April 7.

Our topic today? Taking the time to see what's right in front of us.

I’m a planner. I like to think about the future, set goals, prepare for tomorrow. But, sometimes, we can be so absorbed with what’s next, that we miss what’s happening now. We fail to see what’s right in front of us. And we miss out on a tremendous blessing.

David's Daily Devotion for April 6

April 6, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, April 6.

This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday, that day when we echo the praises of those who lined the streets of Jerusalem, as Jesus entered the city. We’ll lift up our voices in worship, just as they lifted up their palm branches to honor Him. I hope that you will be able to gather with your brothers and sisters in Christ, with your church family, this Palm Sunday.

David's Daily Devotion for April 5

April 5, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, April 5.

As I write this on Monday night, we’re under a tornado watch here in Tenaha, Texas. Tornadoes can occur in any month of the year, but become a particularly dangerous threat in April. On a Monday night in April of 1994, a category four tornado touched down in Lancaster, just south of Dallas, where my family lived.

David’s Daily Devotion for April 4

April 4, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, April 4.

I love history. It was always my favorite subject in school. I love collecting, because every antique is a little piece of history. Yesterday our pastor shared a profound thought in his sermon - History, without His story, is incomplete.

Jesus is the center of history. We record time by either counting down to Bethlehem (BC) or by counting from it (AD). Jesus is the center of time. He is the center of God’s plan for mankind. He is the center of our story.

David’s Daily Devotion for April 1 (No Foolin’)

April 1, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Friday, April 1.

Be on your guard today! There are people that look forward to the 1st of April like the rest of us look forward to Christmas. They're out there. They're lurking.  They're waiting for that moment to jump out and yell "APRIL FOOLS!!!"

In honor of this day that honors all sorts of silliness, I give you some silly Bulletin Bloopers. These are actual notices that ran in actual church newsletters. Sometimes you just gotta laugh!

David's Daily Devotion for March 31

March 31, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, March 31.

On this day in 1994, basketball superstar Michael Jordan signed a contract with a new team - the Birmingham Barons minor league BASEBALL team! In a move that shocked the sports world, Jordan retired from the Chicago Bulls at the peak of his basketball career. He had made 9 straight all-star teams, had won 7 straight scoring titles, and was coming off his third straight championship. He gave it all up to play baseball. Go figure!

Today we begin the third year of these Daily Devotions, and we begin with a question. What’s your favorite book of the Bible? I imagine you have one. The book that you know better than all the others. The book that you turn to time and time again. The book that, more than any other, has shaped and guided your spiritual journey.

Biblegateway.com is the world’s favorite online scripture site. They did a study, using search data, and came up with this list of the world’s favorite Bible books -

David’s Daily Devotion for March 28

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

Happy Anniversary to our Daily Devotions! Two years ago today, we began sharing these little thoughts. My church had just shut down for the pandemic and I wanted to stay connected with our volunteers - during the COUPLE OF WEEKS until Covid was over! Well, here we are two years later, still living in the “new normal”. Who knew?
