During a trip back to California, Terri and I had the pleasure of dining at the oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. This restaurant is a perfectly preserved example of what the dining experience was like in the decades following World War II. Wrapped in neon lights, the Bob's in Burbank serves as both a restaurant and a museum.
Sometimes, when you sit down to write a daily devotional or even a sermon, you may have an idea that has been on your mind for days or hours before you begin typing. As always, prayer and conversations with the Lord are integral to this process. I had initially planned to discuss a serious topic about faith this morning, but upon waking, I felt a more pressing issue weighing on my heart and soul.
Our family loves illusionists, and last night we were thrilled to catch Josh Farley's show at the Huckleberry Brewing Company in Alexandria, Louisiana, as part of his 50 States in 50 Weeks Tour. We were fortunate to secure exclusive VIP tickets (which I highly recommend if you plan to see one of his future shows!) that allowed us to enjoy a private meet-and-greet and an up-close performance with Josh.
First and foremost, Josh is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He is passionate about his craft and loves to share his story with others. He spent around 45 minutes with a small group of us, discussing his life and career, as well as a bit about the history of illusionists. It was truly a magical experience (See what I did there).

Winter storms can pack quite a punch! We often see extreme cold, freezing rain, sleet, heavy snowfall, ice, and howling winds. These fierce storms can throw a wrench in transportation and lead to outages in heating, power, and communication systems. They sometimes result in the closure of schools, stores, and workplaces, making life a bit more challenging for everyone.
A significant winter storm is set to impact the southern United States starting Friday and will continue through the weekend, with effects reaching up the East Coast by Saturday night. This storm will bring a range of precipitation as it rolls through the Southern Plains and Southern Rockies, intensifying and making its way into the Mid-South and Gulf Coast states, further extending into the Tennessee Valley by Saturday.
Back in the 1980s, my friends and I spent countless hours enjoying meals at Bennigan's restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. One of my favorite dishes was their incredible queso dip. Although Bennigan's is no longer around, my love for that dip has never faded. For years, I unsuccessfully tried to replicate it. Now, thanks to the internet, it’s finally time to make some dip!

Most of the United States should be able to see the Northern Lights tonight!
This week, the sun has certainly made its presence known! A powerful X-class solar flare has erupted, accompanied by a fast-traveling coronal mass ejection (CME) heading straight for Earth. Predictions indicate that this CME could make impact in the next 24 hours. If everything aligns perfectly—specifically, if the CME has the right magnetic orientation to be termed "geoeffective"—we might be treated to dazzling displays of the northern lights as far south as Northern California and Alabama tonight, according to the U.K. Met Office.
Recently, I have become really interested in Texas history. For Christmas, both my wife and daughter gave me two amazing books on the state's history. The book I am currently reading, which was a gift from my daughter, is entitled "The Blood of Heroes" by James Donovan, and I'm really enjoying it. The book tells the story of the Battle of the Alamo, a subject I have been fascinated by since I was a little boy.
I'm looking forward to sharing a lot of information about the incredible things I’m learning from this reading.
Before diving into interesting facts about Texas history, I thought it would be great to share a bit of my personal Texas history. Back in 1974, my father decided he had enough of living in the hustle and bustle of Southern California (Whittier, specifically, a suburb of Los Angeles) and moved our family closer to his brother J.G. and his family in Vernon, Texas. At that time, I was only six years old, and since I wasn't familiar with city life, transitioning to a smaller North Texas farming town wasn't too difficult for me.
