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 6 Apr 11

Phil 4:9c (NIV) … And the God of peace will be with you.

NOTE: The theme of peace permeates chapter four.  Verse 1: don't let the Judaizers take your joy away (continues chapter three discussion), stand firm.  Verses 2-3: agree with each other in the Lord, you are all fellow workers.  Verses 4-5: be recognized by your gentleness and joy.  Verses 6-7: don't be anxious, give your worries to God in prayer; God promises peace which is beyond understanding. Verse 8: focus and think on good things (the word of God is the most true thing I can think of).  Verse 9: put into practice the things you have been taught or seen in others that are good.  And then he ends verse 9 with the phrase that the God of peace will be with you.  Rejoice, stand firm, agree with each other, pray, think on good things, and apply the things you learned -- these are the things which will bring peace to your life.
