David's Daily Devotion for March 6

March 6, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, March 6.

Bonham, Bowie, Crockett, Seguin, Travis - sounds like a list from a Texas map. But these aren’t just cities and counties in the Lone Star State, they’re also men, men who lost their lives on March 6, 1836, in a Catholic mission called San Antonio de Valero, a mission that stood next to a grove of cottonwood trees. The Spanish word for cottonwood... is “alamo”.

David’s Daily Devotion for Mar. 4

March 4, 2025 - Good Morning!  It’s Tuesday, March 4.

Today’s a day known by several different names.  Some call it “Mardi Gras” or “Fat Tuesday”.  Others refer to it as “Shrove Tuesday” or “Pancake Day”.  What are all these names about?  Well, they’re all wrapped up in the fact that today is the last day before Lent, the six-week season in the religious calendar, the season that leads to Easter.

David’s Daily Devotion for Mar. 3

March 3, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, March 3.

What’s the last word in the Bible? Did you guess “amen”? That’s right! In Revelation 22:21, the Apostle John writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen”. How appropriate that the Bible ends with that word, since, in the Bible, it’s most often seen at the ends of prayers and proclamations of praise - the same way we typically use it today. “So be it.” “It is true.” “Amen!”

David’s Daily Devotion Feb. 28

February 28, 2025 - Good Morning!  It’s Friday, February 28.

Don’t look now, but February is about to be in the rear-view mirror.  Is it just me, or is 2025 flying by like a freight train?  March is on the doorstep, and the first day of Spring is just three weeks away.  In March, as Mother Nature begins to really strut her stuff, we’ll have a series on our Creator and His beautiful creation.  

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 27

Good Morning!  It’s Thursday, February 27.

Well, it’s another “beautiful day in the neighborhood”.  And that phrase from the theme song of a famous children’s TV show, leads us to recall that, on this day in 2003, Mr. Rogers died.  His program on PBS ran for 33 years, from 1968 to 2001.  For a generation of children, he was a teacher, an encourager, a friend.  Mr. Rogers didn’t teach the alphabet, like Sesame Street - he taught about life.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 26

February 26, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, February 26.

Yesterday was simply gorgeous here in Deep East Texas - 75 degrees, a picture-perfect blue sky with not a cloud n it. A “Chamber of Commerce” day, as the saying goes. That’s a day when the weather is so incredibly nice it causes people from all over the world to come and live in your town. Actually, that sounds like a premise for a horror movie. But, whatever the outcome, yesterday was just such a day.

David's Daily Devotion for February 25

February 25, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, February 25.

The Bible teaches us in many different ways. There are verses that explain doctrine, there are poems of praise, there are characters who serve as examples. And then there are the stories. As children, these stories are our first gateway to understanding who God is, and these stories continue to guide us throughout our lives. One of the most dramatic Bible story is the Tower of Babel.
