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)).

Rom 5:1-11
Romans 5:1 (ESV) —
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our peace is a result of our justification. Just about everything in regards to our salvation is God's work. The enmity between God and man, or more appropriately, God and me no longer exists.
I come as a pauper with nothing to offer for anything in regard to my salvation. Technically, I owe. I am guilty of breaking God's law. I live at war with God. I am not seeking God in a way that would please him. All of these statements was me before God saved me. I came as a pauper, I walked forward as a rich man and the son of the King of the universe.
Father, thank you for the love that you have showered on me. I am incredible undeserving and so unknowledgeable of that fact. I can verbalize it, but I really can't understand my own depravity or your holiness or my absolute futility in knowing you without Jesus. Thank you so much, but it feels so inadequate to say it.
