March 17, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, March 17. We continue our week-long series leading to the first day of spring. And so it’s appropriate to celebrate a day that’s all about green - St. Patrick’s Day. We’re starting to see a whole lot of green here in deep East Texas. In San Antonio, Texas they dye their river green today. Growing up, if you didn’t wear something green to school on St. Patrick’s day - you got pinched!

This Sunday I’ll be attending the 85th anniversary of my home church in Houston - Faith Memorial Baptist. It’s the church where I grew up, where my dad was pastor, where my mom was organist, where I had my first ministry job. Looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends and catching up. It should be a great time of fellowship.

On this day, four years ago, I received a message from Maryland. My youngest sister had passed away. The news was not unexpected, but you’re never fully prepared for that message. On that day I posted this devotion. I hope it will speak to you on this day.

Are you a gardener? I must admit that I am not. Do you have a “green thumb”? Mine’s black! If you have a potted plant that you’ve grown tired of caring for, just give it to me, and I guarantee that within a few days, it will surely be dead. I have great admiration for those who have a talent for making things grow. And I have great appreciation of gardens.
