David's Daily Devotion for August 2

August 2, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Friday, August 2.

What is life?

That's a pretty serious question for a late summer Friday morning. But it's an eternal question that has crossed everyone's mind from time to time. What is the meaning of life?

Is life just the accumulation of time? I did some math and figured out that I've lived 24,733 days, 595,160 hours, 35,711,920 minutes. I had to lie down after that. And that's something I've spent about 200,000 hours doing - sleeping.

David’s Daily Devotion for Aug. 1

What word is found the greatest number of times in the Bible? Well, that's kind of a challenging question to answer. First, you have to take out all those little words like "the" or "and", words that are important grammatically, but not important spiritually. Then, you have to take into consideration all the different translations and paraphrases and versions of the Bible that are available to us today. Like any endeavor that deals with information - more data doesn't always give you more truth.

David’s Daily Devotion for July 31

July 31, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, July 31.

On a Sunday evening in the summer of 1988, I had to miss the Sunday night service at my church in Arlington, Texas. I've always enjoyed Sunday night services. It's a more casual atmosphere than Sunday morning, and you can include audience participation features like testimonies and song requests. But on that particular Sunday night, July 31, 1988, my church somehow made it through the evening service without me - imagine that. I was at a hospital in Fort Worth for the birth of my firstborn child.

I'm a collector. I've been collecting for over 40 years. My list of collections includes 35 different areas of interest and over 5,000 individual items. Over the past few years, I've managed to slow down the pace of my collecting. This is primarily because I would like to stay married. But if my eye should fall upon a particularly interesting item... well, I'm not making any promises.

David’s Daily Devotion for July 29

July 29, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, July 29.

On July 29, 1961, the legendary songwriter, Bob Dylan, was involved in a very serious car accident.  Exactly five years later, on July 29, 1966, he had a motorcycle crash that almost cost him his life. I'm thinking that, ever since, on July 29, Bob Dylan stays in bed and pulls the covers up over his head!

David’s Daily Devotion for July 25

We're just one day away from the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympic Games. The closing ceremony will be Sunday, August 11, and, in between, we'll see over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries striving to win the gold. It happens every four years - well, the last one was just three years ago because of Covid - but let's not remember that! It's time for a whole new set of memories, for a whole new set of memorable moments.
