David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 21

January 21, 2025 - Good Morning!  It’s Tuesday, January 21.

It went down to 25 degrees last night at my house, in Tenaha, Texas.  Chilly!  But it was nothing like the cold weather in Washington D.C. on January 21, 1985, when the windchill was -25, and Ronald Reagan was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States.  On that day, just like yesterday, the inauguration had to be brought inside, inside the Capitol Rotunda.

Paxton Water Supply Encourages Conservation

January 19, 2025 - All Customers: Paxton simply does not have the water pressure or supply for our customers to run all their faucets through this next 3-day cold spell.

While I realize I cannot stop you from doing so, it will empty our tanks and no one will have water and many frozen pipes will be the result. 

A very slow, occasional drip in each faucet is all that is needed. It is not necessary to “run” your faucets. Even this is going to lower our tanks and put us on the edge of no water. 

David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 17

January 17, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 17.

I grew up in a family that loved to play games - Monopoly, Dominoes, 42, an odd French card game called Mille Borne. But our all-time favorite was Scrabble. Over 150 million sets have been sold. One third of American families have one in their house. You can buy it on over 30 languages. And on this date in 1955, Mattel introduced  Scrabble to the world.

David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 16

January 16, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, January 16.

Most of you reading this devotion have lived in two centuries. That’s a special gift, when you stop and think about it. My father lived a long life, 82 years, but all of it was in one century. The woman we focus on today had the rare experience of living in three centuries. Imagine that! She was born January 16, 1898 and died at the age of 104 in 2002.
