A friend named Danny was coaching baseball at Riesel ISD in the early 1970’s. During practice one of his players hit a long foul ball that landed where the high school band was practicing. A trombone player, Joey, picked up the baseball and threw it all the way back past the home plate backstop!

Have you ever tried to get directions and could not get the device to cooperate with you? Two times last week we were driving and trying to find directions via my cell phone to where we are going. Again, as we are technically advanced, I never type I just say “ find directions to this certain place”. Each time as the screen would come up the only thing that I would look at, was the time that it said it would take to get there. Every time it was about 4.5 hours for what should have been a 1- hour trip.

One of the reasons that I love about the breaking of dawn is spending time with the Lord. I get butterflies in my stomach at the thought of communing with my Savior. For years I have affectionately called my morning devotion, “ Coffee time with Jesus.” I even have a coffee cup with that saying on it!

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14 (ESV) Do you ever stop and think about how unique and special you are? When our soul is wounded, we don’t always feel special. Sometimes, we feel very bad about ourselves, and we feel unloved or unlovable. But everyone God creates is “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and He loves each of us more than we can comprehend. Just like the stars in the sky, every one of us is different. We are all born with different personalities, different likes, and dislikes, different gifts and abilities, different physical features— even different fingerprints! Each of us has a special part to play in God’s overall plan.
