The first one was called “Healing Words” and it talked about the power of positive words. To read this article click HERE. The second devotion was called “Taken In”. This was about how God gives us an answer to death and that he has a solution to it. To read this devotional click HERE.

Today’s Who Knew focuses on two significant June 9th events…
1- the release of the Book of Common Prayer in 1549
2- the debut (and birthday) of Donald Duck in 1934
The Book of Common Prayer originated from the Church of England as part of the English Reformation after the break with Rome. BOC was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English.
Donald Duck first appeared in a 1934 film called The Wise Little Hen, a retelling of the original little red hen story. The exasperated, sometimes angry Donald we came to know and love didn’t really show up until later that August in this first movie with Mickey Mouse, Orphan’s Benefit. Since then he has gone on to appear in video games, episodes of cartoons, and stands out as the Disney character who has appeared in the most films to date.

It is Praise Thursday here on the Afternoon Drive! We shared some devotions from Our Daily Bread to help get you through to this weekend.
The first devotional was called “Death Row Joy” and it was about a man who was joyful even when he was wrongly accused of murder. Not only that but he forgave the men who lied about his involvement. This is such incredible faith to be joyful through his 30 years on death row and trust God. To read this devotional click HERE. The other devotion called “Facing the Battles with God” talks about finding refuge in God. In Psalm David says, “In the Lord I take refuge”. Even in the middle of a battle, like Desmond Doss, God was with him. To read this devotion click HERE.
Q: What is the only book of the Bible that does not contain the word “God”?
A:Esther
