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 Sep 16, 1 Pet 2:7, Beware of men who fake spirituality

1 Peter 3:7 (ESV) — 7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

NOTE: This is the great failure of men, loving their wives biblically. Unfortunately, just as women fail, men fail worse because of their inherent selfish nature. And consequently, men feed the selfish desire of women to take control over their own lives less their husbands ruin their happiness. I get it and I wish I had a  good response. But if anything, it reveals the absolute importance of marrying someone who is serious about their walk with God, and I mean, REAL SERIOUS. Because the only protection from the selfish husband is the man regularly seeking God and the Holy Spirit transforming his life. Men will fake spirituality to win a wife, I have seen it over and over again. What is worse, is even when women are warned, they fall for the trap over and over again. They make excuses, they say he will change and become stronger, and on and on. Women, don't marry a man who is not spiritually on fire and spiritually more mature than yourself. You are almost guaranteed a life of Hell on earth.
