Today is a federal holiday that celebrates freedom. Growing up in Texas, I've always known about "Juneteenth." On this day in 1865 in Galveston, a general named Granger read the Emancipation Declaration. President Lincoln had declared freedom for the slaves two and a half years earlier, but news traveled slowly back then.

On June 15, 1976, something totally unexpected occurred - a Major League Baseball game was rained out. Not that unexpected, you say? Happens all the time, you say? Well, this particular game, called off for rain, was set to be played in the Astrodome - indoors!

Each Sunday evening our church family meets for a time of fellowship, praise and worship, testimony, prayer, and a Bible study from our interim pastor, Dr. Tim Watson. Last Sunday night, Bro.

Starting next Monday, we'll return to our regular Daily Devotion format.  But I pray you've enjoyed this week, filled with some of my favorite scriptures.  I'd love to hear what your favorite Bible verse is - drop me an email!  Here's my final five, as we head into Day Five of our Vacation Bible School.  Let the Word of God speak!

It's "Hump Day" for Vacation Bible School at my church. We're halfway through the journey. Anyone who has ever worked in a VBS knows that it's a busy time. So, this week I'm letting the Bible speak for itself. No "two-cents" from me. Maybe that's something we should do more often. Hope you're blessed and inspired this morning by five more of my favorite scriptures. Let the Word of God speak!
