David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 7

January 7, 2025 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, January 7.

The holidays are over, but the biggest part of winter is still to come. Texas winters are unpredictable. You’re never sure what you’re gonna get. It could be three months of mild weather, with no hard freezes, or it could include a week like we had in 2021, with ice and snow and single-digit temps. You just never know about a Texas winter.

David's Daily Devotion for January 6

January 6, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, January 6.

Are you missing Christmas already? Well, you’re in luck, because today is “Old Christmas”. It’s known by that name because, before the Gregorian calendar was adopted five centuries ago, January 6 was Christmas Day. Some religious groups, like the Mennonites and the Amish, still observe it. Today is 12 days after Christmas (cue the song!) and some call it “Little Christmas” or “Epiphany” or “Three Kings Day”.

David’s Daily Devotion for Dec. 19

December 19, 2024 - Good Morning!  It’s Thursday, December 19.

My daughter was 27 when she got married, my wife was 20 when she tied the knot, and my mother wed my dad at the tender age of 17.  The history of my family parallels the changes in our culture regarding average marriage ages.  This leads us to today’s focus in our series “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.  This leads us to the question - how old was Mary when she gave birth to Jesus?
