Welcome to the Mayberry Devotional. I’m sure by now, most have heard of the passing of Maggie Peterson Mancuso. Maggie, aka Charlene Darling, passed away Sunday May 15. According to her family, she passed away quietly in her sleep with her family present. Maggie was loved by all and up until about three years ago was still attending fan gatherings representing the show. I got to meet her several times and she was always happy to meet her fans and so appreciative of everyone coming to say hello to her. She was loved by all and will be missed.
Today I’m going to skip ahead a few episodes and look at season three, episode twenty five of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Darlings are Coming”. This is the first episode where we see the Darling family, along with Maggie Peterson as she becomes the one and only Charlene Darling. The title of my devotional today is “Forgive Because We Have Been Forgiven” and I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Micah 7:18a.
In January 2014 I received an e-mail that changed things for me. It was from this weeks guest, Cody Ray DesBiens. At the time he sent the e-mail, he was 19 years old and he said he was a “HUGE Andy Griffith Show fan” who watched episodes every night with his mom. That wasn’t the part that impacted me, though I was glad to hear a fairly young man was a Mayberry fan. What got me was that Cody had been diagnosed with a chronic type of Leukemia in October 2011.
He went through chemo and eventually needed a bone marrow and stem cell transplant. He was in the hospital for a long time and needed something to keep his mind off the pain and sickness. It was then that he came across the YouTube version of this podcast.
The thing that hit me was him saying that Two Chairs No Waiting helped him keep his mind off things. Wow…I was, and am, humbled by that and I’ve been wanting to have him as a quest ever since and FINALLY had a chance just last week.
I know you’re going to enjoy hearing Cody’s story directly from him LIVE from the IHOP.
We’ll hear this weeks installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker that he’s calling “Chunkin’ Rocks.”

Welcome to episode 80 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time”. Today I’ll be looking at season three, episode fourteen of The Andy Griffith Show, “One Punch Opie”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Proverbs 14:12.
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” ESV
The show we’re going to go back and give another think to some of the topics we covered in the last few episodes. They raise questions and created comments that are well worth talking about.
In one case, I answered a question from an audience member incorrectly so I’m going to correct the answer. My thanks to Randy Turner for pointing out the correct answer that is found in his “Mayberry Firsts” book (found at WeaversDepartmentStore).
We’ll also hear from a couple of folks about if knowing more changes how they watch episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.
To clear the palate, we’ll do a few Mayberry trivia questions.
We have an installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Hal Smith” part 2 to wrap up the Mayberry fun.

Welcome to episode 79 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “Tacos Fall Apart and We Still Love Them”. Today I’ll be looking at season three episode twelve of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Bank Job”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Matthew 11:28.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” KJV
This past weekend on May 1, 2022, the MeTV series Collectors Call featured the collection owned by Mike Haviland so I thought it fitting to talk about Mike and how well he represented Mayberry during the show. As such, Mike also worked with MeTV to develop several Mayberry related trivia quizzes with Round One being: “How well do you know Sheriff Andy?“
We’re going to play that trivia. It’s twenty-five questions related to Sheriff Taylor and I know you’ll enjoy playing along.
This episode we have a new installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Hal Smith” part 1 that I know you’ll enjoy so go ahead and press play so we can get the show on the road.

Welcome to episode 78 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “Pay Attention”. Today I’ll be looking at season three episode twelve of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Bed Jacket”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Hebrews 2:1.
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.
