Life Is So Daily!: A 365 Day Walk With The Word. by Pastor Cecil A. Thompson, Compiled by Larry E. Hunter This NEW book provides a full year of selected Daily-E-Votionals to assist you in making each day a more meaningful event!
A BRIEF HISTORY: 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.
THE DAILY E-VOTIONAL BEGINS: 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.

ABOUT PASTOR CECIL: From time to time I receive requests asking about me and who I am. To be honest, I occasionally ask myself the same questions. With that in mind, I would like to give you a brief glimpse of who this guy is who calls himself “Pastor Cecil.”

MINISTRY EXPERIENCE:
Preaching assignments in South Dakota, Newfoundland, Missouri;Assoc. Pastor (Discipleship/Counseling) - Nampa, Idaho,1st Nazarene Pastor - Burns, Oregon Church of the Nazarene; Pastor - Shelton, Washington Church of the Nazarene; Pastor - Olympia, Washington – Summit Lake Community Church; Pastor - Chapel of Grace Ministries.
PERSONAL BACKGROUND AND TESTIMONY: I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior during a Vacation Bible School in Camas, Washington, when I was in the third or fourth grade. It was a genuine experience and I have never turned back from following Him all of my life. In 1948 I fell in love with my sweetheart Joyce when we were both 14. Throughout our 62 plus years of marriage we remained totally devoted to each other.
Joyce and I were blessed with three beautiful children and eight gorgeous grandchildren. Blessing is the operative word in our life because we early on learned the secret of blessing.
In 1991, one year after becoming pastor at Summit Lake Community Church, our oldest daughter ascended to be with our Lord. We learned the blessing of trusting the Lord even when allowing our precious girl to slip the bonds of this world. Her three children, surrounded with our prayers, became such a joy to us. We are even more blessed to have our son Dan, his wife Donna and their family living close to us.
Our youngest daughter, Lori, experienced kidney failure in 2001. She started kidney dialysis and went on the transplant list for both her kidney and pancreas. On December 18, 2001, our granddaughter Jenna (Brenda’s daughter), donated one of her kidneys to her aunt Lori. The transplant was a great success.
On February 5, 2002, a pancreas became available and was transplanted at the University Of Washington Medical Center where the kidney transplant had been completed the previous year. Several months later the pancreas failed and Lori received a second transplant. She has experienced several challenges since the transplants, but we walk by faith, as does she, and simply allow the Lord to work out the details.
Together Joyce and I experienced many blessings of the Lord on our ministry. Even though my dear wife has now ascended to be with our Lord, we always believed that there is no such thing as retirement. I want to be found faithful when the Lord calls me to be with Him and reunited with my dear ones who have gone on before me.
This is a tiny glimpse of Pastor Cecil. My one desire is to be used in any and every way the Lord chooses. Walk with God today, trust Him completely, and be a blessing. Pastor Cecil. Pastor Cecil's “The Sands Of Eternity” Video Message At: http://www.pastorcecil.
