Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 28 May 10

1 Cor 1:4-6 (NIV) I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way — in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

NOTE: I'm not sure what comes first. Are the Corinthians enriched because of Paul's testimony? Or is Paul's ministry confirmed because of their enrichment from God? Either way, real life in Christ should show some difference. I look at my navigator friends from college, and I see so many serving God in very different and unique ways. Their work of faith confirms the testimony of those who shared Christ with them. No wonder Paul starts out by saying, "I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus." I feel the same way, so unworthy of the people I helped come to Christ or even to grow in their relationship with the Savior. Why am I? Nobody, but I hope someone that is useful to my savior.
