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)).

1 Cor 1:18-31
1 Corinthians 1:21 (ESV) —
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
You can't know God through wisdom or intellect. You can learn things about him, but intellect does not serve as a basis for a relationship with God.
Ultimately, to know God requires humility--to acknowledge that I am a failure and I can do nothing on my own. I'm a moral failure and not worth knowing, but God gave me worth and value by his Son dying for me.
Father, I cannot express how incredible your love is for me. You loved the un-lovables. You gave new life to the feeble. You transformed moral garbage into trophies of your love. Thank you!
