Hi Everybody!

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list

March 21

Chirpy

Bible in a Year:

• Joshua 7–9
• Luke 1:21–38

The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

1 Kings 17:6

For twelve years, Chirpy, a seagull, has made daily visits to a man who’d helped him heal from a broken leg. John wooed Chirpy to himself with dog biscuits and was then able to nurse him back to health. Though Chirpy only resides in Instow Beach in Devon, England, between September and March, he and John Sumner find each other easily—Chirpy flies straight to him when he arrives at the beach each day, though he doesn’t approach any other human. It’s an uncommon relationship, to be sure.

John and Chirpy’s bond reminds me of another uncommon relationship between man and bird. When Elijah, one of God’s prophets, was sent into the wilderness to “hide in the Kerith Ravine” during a time of drought, God said he was to drink from the brook, and He’d send ravens to supply him with food (1 Kings 17:3–4). Despite the difficult circumstances and surroundings, Elijah would have his needs for food and water met. Ravens were unlikely caterers—naturally feeding on unseemly meals themselves—yet they brought Elijah wholesome food.

It may not surprise us that a man would help a bird, but when birds provide for a man with “bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening,” it can only be explained by God’s power and care (v. 6). Like Elijah, we too can trust in His provision for us.

Reflect & Pray

How has God provided for your needs in surprising ways? How has this deepened your trust in Him?

Loving God, please help me to trust in You to meet my needs no matter what my circumstances might be.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

SOUTH PACIFIC: ”YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME“

John Kerr provided the image while Bill Lee sang the song in the 1958 movie.

Bill Lee: “Younger Than Springtime”

[Jamestown1630]

I’m trying to learn how to play this ‘Appalachian Dulcimer’ gizmo. This guy is pretty good:

They locked God Outside the Iron Curtain--Little Jimmy Dickens (1952)

[Fiji Hill]

Dog House Boogie--Hawkshaw Hawkins (1948)

This might have been inspired by the following:

Move It On Over--Hank Williams & His Drifting Cowboys (1947)

[libertylover]

Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last surviving Medal of Honor Recipient awarded for heroism at the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II is from West Virginia. He’s the guy who took out all of those machine gun nests with a flame thrower. They just named a ship after him a couple of weeks ago.

Good evening, Publius, and thank you for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

SOUTH PACIFIC: ”YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME“

Mario tackled this song in 1949, and his operatic interpretation laid the basis for future opera stars.

Mario Lanza: “Younger Than Springtime”

[Fiji Hill]

This recording by a West Virginia artist is a bit cornball, and it was recorded four-and-a-half decades ago, but it sounds like a description of the US just before the MAGA era.

Day of Decision--Buddy Starcher (1966)
