David's Daily Devotion for May 31

May 31, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, May 31.

On May 31, 2010. Chris Haney passed away. Don’t know who that is? No reason you should. But you know his creation. In December, 1979, Chris was a young journalist in Canada. He and a friend decided to play a game of Scrabble, but discovered that some of the letter tiles were missing. So, instead, they created their own game. They called it Trivial Pursuit. It became the “hot” game of the ‘80’s and, to date, has sold over 100 million sets for over a billion dollars. Not trivial at all.

This coming Monday, of course, is Memorial Day. A day set aside each year to remember those men and women in uniform who gave their lives to protect our freedom. Here in Shelby County, Texas there will be a Memorial Day event at 11AM at our Civic Center. I’ll be sharing some patriotic music for the ceremony and invite all our local readers to join us!

David’s Daily Devotion for May 25

May 25, 2022 - Good Morning. It's Wednesday, May 25.

We are still reeling from the horrific news that came over the airwaves yesterday afternoon - a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

There are no words.
But there are names.
Columbine. Sandy Hook. Virginia Tech. Santa Fe. Parkland.

There are no words.
But there are numbers.
Over a dozen mass school shootings in the last 20 years in America. 

And now we add Robb Elementary to the names.
And we add 19 children and 2 teachers to the numbers.

David’s Daily Devotion for May 24

May 24, 2022 - Good Morning!  It’s Tuesday, May 24.

It’s gonna rain!  Here in Shelby County, Texas we could get up to five inches over the next two days, and we’re under a flood watch.  It’s gonna rain!

Our environment is so different from that of Bible lands.  In an average 12-month period, we get over 50 inches of rain. There are parts of the Holy Land that get less than one inch all year long!  Is it any surprise that words like "water" and "thirst" occur hundreds of times in The Word?

David’s Daily Devotion for May 23

May 23, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, May 23.

Do you know what a “polymath” is? It sounds like a really hard arithmetic problem! But actually, it’s a person who has world-class ability in more than one area. Leonardo de Vinci is probably the prime example of a polymath, or "Renaissance man". But a close second would be one of our Founding Fathers - Benjamin Franklin.

David's Daily Devotion for May 20

May 20, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Friday, May 20.

This Sunday, in our Broadcast Sunday School Class, I'll be teaching from Matthew 24:42 - "Be alert! For you do not know when your LORD is coming." That's Jesus talking, to His disciples and to us, about the end of the world, and His second coming. But I don't want to talk about the end of the world this morning. I want to talk about that word "LORD."

May 19, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, May 19.

This Sunday, our church, along with churches across America, will honor our graduates. We have about a dozen high school seniors and a half dozen who are graduating from college. It will be a memorable moment for our young people, for their families, for our church family.
