Star of David

May 29, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

It’s hard to believe that we have seen anything in modern history more demonic and Satanically driven than the Nazi regime.  In 1933, when Adolph Hitler rose to power, he appointed his good friend and trusted confidant, Joseph Goebbels, to the position of minister for public enlightenment and propaganda.  His job was essentially to make… Read More »

A Day of Shame

May 28, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Yesterday, we celebrated Memorial Day with pride and patriotism.  However, May 27, 1939 was a day of shame that highlighted a problem the United States is currently experiencing.  Let’s take a trip back into history and set up some events. World War II began on September 1, 1939.  As events escalated to this point, Hitler’s… Read More »

Remember

May 27, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Today begins on a somber note and rightfully so. This is our nation’s Memorial Day, a call to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for us in defense of our country and its freedom. Take a moment and mentally soak in the scene. There isn’t a big sign at the entrance to the cemetery… Read More »

Singing

May 26, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Are you ready to be invaded?  Alien creatures from another world are about to ascend on us.  In fact, by the time you read this, the invasion could already have happened.  With bulging red eyes, membranous wings, tiny arms and legs, and covered in an exoskeleton that they will shed soon after the invasion, these… Read More »

The Sack Lunch

May 25, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Today is National Brown Bag It Day.  The beginnings of this day seem lost in obscurity but that doesn’t stop the National Day Calendar from proclaiming and promoting it.  That’s okay because it brings back memories for me. This day was often during the last week of school.  The cafeteria was shutting down and we… Read More »

Clumsy Shouldn’t Equal Caustic Comedy

May 23, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

President Biden has fallen many times in his presidency, whether it was going up or down the steps of Air Force One, walking across a stage, or falling off his bike.  The media pokes fun of him, mocking him for being clumsy and elderly.  However, the public seems to be forgetting that most world leaders… Read More »

Confusing Critters

May 22, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

“What is that?!?”  This was exclaimed from a couple of lady bus drivers early one morning in the bus barn parking lot.  It was voiced from myself as well as I had just gotten out of my truck when this thing appeared.  Thankfully, I was walking in with an older man who has done a… Read More »

God’s Waitstaff

May 21, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Today is National Waitstaff Day.  I’m writing this nearly a month before the celebration, but my wife and I went out for supper tonight and, sure enough, we had a waiter.  The timing of the writing of this devotional could not have been planned any better! According to Zippia.com, there are over 1,609,224 waiters/waitresses currently… Read More »

Yawn

May 19, 2024 By PastorJWMacFarlane

Each day, I pick up a student towards the end of my route.  Mom has driven him to the end of the drive and waits in her car until I get him loaded.  I close my doors, check the traffic, and then return her wave before pulling away.  Well, she did something a few weeks… Read More »
