Today’s devotional is about five of my favorite people.  There are a lot of moving parts so bear with me. Jim, Jan, Adrian, and Cindy sit next to each other in church.  They sit in one of the back pews so I can’t keep a close eye on them.   The children of our church adore Adrian and Cindy because … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 25, 2022 →

Last Wednesday afternoon, I was really feeling bad, so I took a COVID test.  The directions explained if I tested positive, the test strip would show a pink line.  When I looked the test strip, it wasn’t pink.  It was fire engine red with flaming pits of lava falling off the sides.  Sure enough, I was positive. I don’t know … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 24, 2022 →

This past weekend, a terrorist took four hostages in a synagogue in Colleyville.  One hostage was set free, the other three escaped, and the FBI killed the criminal.  The world watched in horror as a place of peace was turned into a place of violence. The temptation is to look at something that horrific and believe it … Continue reading Daily Devotional January 19, 2022 →

Shannon has a paint horse named Shiloh.  She is one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. Shiloh is an American Paint horse.  She’s black and white with sky blue eyes.  We bought Shiloh when she was a small filly.  The majority of each day, her owners kept her alone in a small stall. Shiloh had a … Continue reading Daily Devotional January 18, 2022 →

In 1988, I was stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky.  I was in an armored cavalry regiment.  My life revolved around tanks. My parents had come to visit, and I asked them to sit on the couch so I could tell them of a life-changing decision. When I told my parents I was going to resign my commission … Continue reading Daily Devotional January 11, 2022 →

Barbara sent the following story.  Truer words were never spoken. “An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic.  It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2 appears.The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus, and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 10, 2022 →

 Years ago, a young man on our church staff walked into my office and said, “No one tells me thank you for what I do.”  I replied, “I tell you thank you all the time.” He thought about this for a moment and said, “You do but no one else does.”  Realizing part of the problem may be … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 6, 2022 →

Yesterday, Chris set up the new computer in my office.  After listening to hours of crying and screaming, Chris told me to be quiet, accept the fact that I was getting a new computer, and adjust to a positive change.  The problem is, I don’t believe any change is positive.  All change is bad because it is unfamiliar.   As … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 5, 2022 →

It seems weird and unfamiliar to use the date 2022 but I praise God we can all say goodbye to 2021.  It was a year that is best described as a real stinker. From an insurrection in the US Capital, President Trump’s second impeachment, winter storms overwhelming Texas’ inadequate power grid resulting in numerous deaths … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 4, 2022 →
