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 11 Dec 15, Ps 46:10, Tis the season to be still

Ps 46:10 (ESV)
10  "Be still, and know that I am God.
 I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"

NOTE: (Thought inspired by Matthew West Devotional). This certainly is not what happens at Christmas. The busiest time of the year along with the fewest amount of work days -- well, for some at least. But no matter, it is so full of activities that we miss out on the most important activity of the year: to be still and reflect on what God did for us; to spend time thanking God for our salvation; and to spend time in awe of the incarnation. Quite frankly, we need time just to be still--no tv, no music, no computer, no phone, no facebook or twitter or instagram--no noise, just the bible, God, and quiet. In this hectic time of year, we need to find time for the truly important activity of the year: stillness and reflecting on God's wonderful gift of salvation.
