For years now, I’ve enjoyed receiving a rather unique devotional by e-mail, something called Thought For The Day by Alan Smith. Alan no longer publishes every day; I’m not even sure if there’s a pattern to his schedule. A few months ago, Alan established a Thought For The Day blog that mirrors the e-mail devotional.
Alan takes some of the humorous stories that float around the story and shares them with us, along with a spiritual lesson that is drawn from the joke itself. The lessons aren’t always deep, but the stories are enjoyable and it’s a nice way to turn your mind to some spiritual things.
Do yourself a favor. Go to Alan Smith’s blog and read some of the posts there. Or go to the archive of older posts. If you’d rather get Thought For The Day in your e-mail, just send an e-mail to join-thought-for-the-day@hub.xc.org.
I used to get the Thought for the Day by email a LONG LONG time ago! I think one time I changed my email address and forgot to change my subscription to TFTD, and then I forgot about it. Thanks for pointing me back to that! I will enjoy adding his blog to my daily reads.
I’ve read Alan’s “Though for the Day” for years and found some excellent sermon illustrations along the way. I still get them, but no longer save them in a file.
Thanks for posting. We place his Thoughts in our bulletin every week (with credit) but I did not realize he has an online blog and daily email. Definite Bookmark for me.
