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)).

Mark 10:35-45 (key: 45)
Mark 10:42–43 (ESV) —
42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
Jesus tells us NOT to go seeking for position, authority, or power in the kingdom. It is different. We are to seek to be servants, not rulers.
One of the exciting things about a new body is to be rid of the selfish ugly pride that encourages me to want to exalt myself over others. I can prepare myself today by being a servant of others first and foremost.
Father, open my eyes to how I can serve others with my life. Show me how to shut my mouth and not say anything when I want to boast of some accomplishment. Forgive me for my failures. Forgive me for my pride.
