David’s Daily Devotion for July 25

July 25, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, July 25.

We're just one day away from the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympic Games. The closing ceremony will be Sunday, August 11, and, in between, we'll see over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries striving to win the gold.

It's time for a whole new set of memories, for a whole new set of memorable moments.

David’s Daily Devotion for July 24

July 24, 2024 - Good Morning!  It's Wednesday, July 24.

On this day in 1725, a boy was born in England.  His father was a ship's captain.  His mother died when he was six.  And at the young age of 11, his father took him to sea.  He, too, became captain of a ship, a slave ship.  Later he would share the testimony of a storm that arose one night on the sea, a night when John Newton experienced a life-changing spiritual conversion.

Are you excited about the Summer Olympics? The opening ceremonies in Paris are just three days away. I'm a big Olympics fan. I had the chance to attend the winter games when they were in Salt Lake City in 2002. As a kid, I'd be glued to the TV set from start to finish.

Does the Bible mention the Olympics? The ancient games were held from about 800 B.C. to 400 AD. That encompasses much of the Old Testament and all of the New. But, although sports are mentioned in the Word of God, the Olympic Games are not.

"The Disappearing Family Doctor" by Neal Murphy

July 22, 2024 - I can recall that back in my early days in San Augustine, Texas there were four family doctors who treated our family at various times.  I recall that their names were Dr. Rulfs, Dr. Ellington, Dr. Brake, and Dr. Bennett.

I remember that on several occasions I became ill and my father, Cecil, called Dr. Brake to come to our house and check me out.  I still recall his rather large, black, doctoring bag which contained his exam equipment.  On rare terrifying occasions he would give me a shot to help cure what ailed me.
