January 21, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, January 21.

In January, a year ago, Donald Trump was inaugurated president for a second term. The weather was so cold that the ceremony had to be moved into the rotunda of the Capitol. That harkened back to Inauguration Day, January 21, 1985, when the windchill was -25 in Washington D.C. and the ceremony to start Ronald Reagan’s second term moved indoors, as well.

January 15, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, January 15. Does God have a sense of humor? An interesting question. I believe that he does. Let’s explore this together.

I believe we can see God’s sense of humor in His creation. Have you ever really looked at a giraffe? How about the emu, or the camel, or the duck-billed platypus.

How do you sleep? You’ve heard the old joke - “I slept like a baby. I woke up every three hours and cried!” My sleep habits have changed drastically as I’ve eased into old age. When I was younger, I was a confirmed night owl, not usually in bed before midnight, and every morning I faced the challenge of getting up in time for school or work.

Not anymore! But I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep. I’m not alone - about a third of adults suffer with some level of insomnia.

On this date, in 1969, the singer, B.J. Thomas, released the song “Hooked on a Feeling”. It went on to become his first big hit, selling a million records, and he went on to have a big career, a career that spanned seven decades, and lasted until his death in 2021. But today’s devotion isn’t about B.J. Thomas. It’s centered on this thought - you never know what you’ll find when you go to church.
