Webmaster's Background

Welcome!

Hello, I'm Ron Newhouse the author and webmaster for "Daily Devotions - A Few Moments With God" web site. I hope you will read these devotions everyday to help you grow closer to God. Jesus said, "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life."

I am the Pastor of Administration at First United Methodist Church Graham, Texas. Please visit this outstanding church when your are in or near Graham - the North Star of Texas!

I am also a United States Navy Chaplain. It is an awesome blessing to be able to serve God and my country.

I'm married to the wonderful Michele Newhouse. I have a son, Matt, who has left the nest and works for Conoco Phillips. (They're a real blessing!)
