Today is Veteran’s Day. It is our pleasure, our blessing, our honor, to say thank you to all the men and women who have served as soldiers, who have stood their post, who have protected America. Here’s some great quotes for this special day.

*Some people live their entire lives and wonder if they’ve made a difference in the world. Veterans don’t have that problem. Ronald Reagan

*Honor to the soldiers and sailors everywhere, who bravely bear their country’s cause. Abraham Lincoln

David’s Daily Devotion for Nov. 8

November 8, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, November 8.

In Mark 8:11-13 we find these words - “The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test Him, they asked for a sign from heaven. Jesus sighed deeply and said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it’. Then He left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

David's Daily Devotion for November 6

November 6, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, November 6.

I usually write these devotions the day before they’re sent out. I stayed up past my bedtime last night to watch election coverage, but when I finally went to bed, the result was still in doubt. So, I’ll focus on another election. On this date, in 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the president of the United States of America.

David’s Daily Devotion for Nov. 4

November 4, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, November 4.

Tomorrow is a big day, an important day, a serious day. So, something lighter this morning.

I love words. I find them endlessly fascinating. For instance, why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? Here are some more synonyms that seem like they should be opposites - bone/debone; valuable/invaluable; regardless/irregardless; press/depress; caretaker/caregiver

David’s Daily Devotion for Nov. 1

November 1, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, November 1.

Something happened at my house yesterday that hadn’t happened in a long time. It rained. We’ve been going through quite a dry spell here in Shelby County, and we needed that rain. I needed that rain. As I sat on my porch and watched the long, slow, soaking shower - listened to it, smelled it, enjoyed it - I realized how much I’d missed it. As they say, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”.

David's Daily Devotion for October 30

October 30, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, October 30.

Here’s an interesting (and timely) internet study - presidential campaign slogans. I chose just a few for you this morning.

  • Tippecanoe and Tyler Too - 1840 - Tyler
  • A Chicken in Every Pot - 1928 - Hoover
  • Happy Days are Here Again - 1932 - Roosevelt
  • I Like Ike - 1956 - Eisenhower

During the last generation the word “hope” has made several appearances.

David's Daily Devotion for October 29

October 29, 2024 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, October 29.

Our focus today is on one of the most famous passages in the Bible - the Ten Commandments. But do you know that there was actually not one, but two sets of commandments? Moses brought the first set down from the mountain, saw the golden idol that the Israelite people had built, and angrily threw the tablets to the ground, breaking them into pieces.
