January 23, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 23. 

Forecasters tell us that we’re in for some “wintry mix” this weekend, maybe some sleet, maybe some snow, maybe some ice. All this talk reminded me of the winter storm of 2021. If you were around here then, you’ll no doubt remember it too. Here’s a reprint of a devotion from January, five years ago.

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.

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. Let’s face it - these are not serious animals. It’s fun to imagine Adam trying to name critters like these, while being overcome with laughter!

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.
