Life Is So Daily! A 365 Day Walk With The Word By Pastor Cecil A. Thompson In the 1970's I was on the ministerial staff of a large church. At one of our weekly staff meetings, the Senior Pastor announced that he wanted to start daily devotionals. Each staff member was to write seven devotionals which would be printed and distributed to the congregation each Sunday. Unfortunately, the project only lasted a short while because staff members complained that it was impossible to produce material for seven days. Thirty years later, September 15, 2000, I was pastoring a small congregation and requested the members email addresses. The number of responses surprised me so I sent them a short devotional message. Once again the response surprised me. They wanted me to send more! As I prayed about the commitment it would require on my part, the Lord prompted me to use this method to share His Word through my life experiences. The Daily E Votional was born. At the outset I sent out a new message seven days a week. Some of my spiritual counselors advised me to reduce it to five days a week or I would not have the energy to sustain it. I listened and limited the E Votionals to five days a week. The other change I made was to shorten the messages. Can I let you in on a little secret? It is much easier to write much than to write little. I eventually tried to cut back to a single page and encapsulate the message within four paragraphs. I also discovered that people like stories, which reminded me that Jesus used stories as the basis for much of His teaching. He painted word pictures that allowed the people to visualize His message. I have had a very unique work history all the way from driving a milk delivery truck, to jet aircraft mechanic, to police officer, to juvenile probation officer, to Air Force Personnel Officer, to Missile Launch Officer, to Nuclear Safety Officer, to Criminal Justice Planner and, through almost all of it, a preacher and teacher of God's Word. This book provides a full year of selected Daily E Votionals to assist you in making each day more meaningful in serving the Lord. My desire for each of us is that we will allow every situation in our life an opportunity to serve the Lord. May God bless you, Dear Hearts! Pastor Cecil
