Robert Halsey Pine Bob Pine was born at Newark, Ohio, in 1943, and grew up in Rockville, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. He is a graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and attended the U.S. Naval Academy and New Mexico Military Institute. Bob completed the program of Theological Education by Extension; Education for Ministry as provided and administered by the School of Theology, the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. He met his wife Penny in England while in the Navy. They have two sons Matthew and Robert Jr. Bob works for a metals recycling company in the Gadsden, Alabama area, his family's home since 1969. He is an active member of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter, Gadsden where he is a Eucharistic Minister. He is involved in prison ministry (KAIROS) participating in retreats and regular visits with inmates. Bob is a leader in his church and community. In 1993 Bob had an uplifting experience while going through brain surgery for the removal of a tumor. God's revelation to Bob during his illness has changed his life forever. This comes through in his meditations on the Word of the Lord in his daily devotionals. ~ "Bob Pine is one of those rare Christians who can observe the world around him, and see the hand of God at work and not confuse it with human endeavor. The smallest piece of creation becomes for him the pattern of a God who loves and cares." ~ The Rt. Rev. Furman C. Stough, VIII Bishop of Alabama.

Background on these Devotionals by the Author Dear Brothers and Sisters, After I was touched by God through His Holy Spirit during my brain surgery event in 1993, I was called by Him to share my story with all that would listen. I was deeply touched by His Love and Grace in the middle of the chaos of my life-threatening event. It was through the prayers of my Christian Community and my own prayers that I was able to connect with the Lord. As I have shared my story with others, I have felt a need to connect it more with scripture. This makes it more God's story, as it should be. A daily devotional seemed to be a good way to accomplish this, so Pious Bob was born. I dedicate these devotionals to my wife Penny, for her love and support throughout our life together. God has truly blessed me and loved me through her. I hope that you enjoy reading these pages as much as I enjoyed writing them. God is good! He will bless you. Your Brother in Christ, Bob
