Graphic by Billie

River Gambol

Come in and take a chance on us,
We’ve got a ride, forget the bus.
We’ll have some fun now in this place,
Hey, look downriver, it’s a race!

This is a jolly, happy time,
Let’s celebrate it with a rhyme.
Jack and Jill once took a ride,
But they got home by eventide!

I need a river graphic. I am a certified river rat with mud between my toes to prove it.

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. —1 Chronicles 16:23


Worship, praise, and adoration
Render now to Jesus' name;
Freely give your heart's devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim

No day is complete without worship.

See You Next Time?

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:23-36

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. —1 Chronicles 16:23

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 7-9; John 6:22-44


It was a Sunday afternoon several years ago. The whole family was gathered around the table for dinner. Our 4-year-old son Stevie led off our pre-meal prayer: "Dear heavenly Father, thank You for this nice day. Thank You that we could go to church and Sunday school today." Then, to our surprise, he said, "And we'll see You again next week."

What Stevie said in his prayer is how we often view the Christian life, I'm afraid. We easily fall into a see-you-next-time attitude about God. We forget about Him as we fulfill our daily responsibilities. We go for days at a time trying to pay the bills, keep the boss happy, and give attention to each family member. But we neglect to give God the time He deserves.

First Chronicles 16 gives us some facts about God's power and majesty that we can think and talk about "from day to day" (v.23). We can "declare His glory" (v.24) and recognize His hand of creation in the heavens (v.26). We can talk of His honor and majesty, the strength He possesses, and the gladness He gives us (v.27).

Each day brings new reasons to pray to God, to praise His name, and to proclaim His love. Let's make our worship of Him something we do "from day to day." —Dave Branon

Worship, praise, and adoration
Render now to Jesus' name;
Freely give your heart's devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim. —Anon.

No day is complete without worship.

Good moring! Oh, Good morning!

Do I hear banjos? Very cute welcome poem and graphic!

Appropriate for our weather here this morning, flash floods, several main trafficways closed due to high waters. My car was parked in several inches of rushing water in front of my house, fortunately by the time I left some, not all, of it had subsided.
