David's Daily Devotion for August 15

In Cologne, Germany, there stands a magnificent Gothic cathedral. It is the number one tourist attraction of that large city, attracting more than six million tourists each year. It boasts distinctive twin steeples, or spires, that rise over 500 feet above the ground. That makes it the highest structure of its kind in the world. And on this day, August 15, in the year 1248, the cornerstone of the Cologne Cathedral was laid.

School starts back tomorrow here in Center, Texas. Children and teenagers are making all those last-minute preparations for the big day. But teachers have been preparing for weeks. And yesterday, at First Baptist Center, we took a moment to recognize, encourage, and pray for our educators. It was our honor to honor them.

This coming Sunday morning, here at First Baptist Center, Texas, we'll begin our service with a worship song called "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High." You're probably familiar with it, it's been around for 35 years now, and that's a long time for a contemporary Christian song. It was written by a man named Rick Founds - a man who was ahead of his time.

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.
