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 23 Mar 15, Eph 6:11, Leaving off armor pieces leaves us vulnerable to certain attacks

Eph 6:11 (ESV) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

NOTE: I think are problem is that we don't fully equip ourselves. We will put an item or two of the armor, but leave other pieces off. The problem is that leaves gaps or weaknesses that the enemy can exploit. The armor is designed to work together as a whole. A shield alone can't protect from an enemy wielding two weapons. It is better than nothing, but only using bits and pieces leaves us exposed. We need to cultivate a lifestyle that naturally puts on all the pieces of the armor. What is the piece that I have been omitting? I think I can admit to more than one. My feet shod with the gospel of peace is one I don't think about enough. How hard do I look for opportunities to be a witness as I walk through this life?
