David's Daily Devotion for February 21

February 21, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Tuesday, February 21.

Hope you enjoyed the President's Day holiday. And now we celebrate again . . . Happy Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent that leads to Easter Sunday. The tradition was to indulge in rich foods and merriment on Fat Tuesday that would be discouraged during Lent. Mardi Gras parades and festivities are held in St. Louis, Mobile, Galveston, Shreveport, and, of course, New Orleans.

Galileo laid foundations in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the scientific method.  But, perhaps, he is most remembered for his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of astronomy.  When NASA prepared a spacecraft to explore the planets, they named it “Galileo”.

In 1772, John Fawcett was a young pastor in Yorkshire, England. His little church was made up of working class people who dearly loved their pastor. And he had grown to love them, too. But, as always happens, young pastors, especially those who are gifted preachers, receive offers to move to larger churches. A prestigious congregation in London offered Fawcett a position and, after much prayer, he accepted.
