David’s Daily Devotion for June 5

June 5, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, June 5.

It's "Hump Day" for Vacation Bible School at my church, First Baptist Center, Texas. We're halfway through our journey! Anyone who has ever worked in a VBS knows that it's an especially busy time.

Fender Skirts

May 31, 2024 - I haven’t thought of fender skirts in years until recently. I was examining a few items in my toy car collection when I looked at my 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air which had rear fender skirts. I always liked the look on most of the 1940 and 1950 model cars which sported the skirts.
