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 5:12-21 (key:12, 19)
Romans 5:19 (ESV) —
19 For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
Adam sinned and so sin enter the human race. God came to earth and lived perfectly (righteous), died in our place, and made us righteous. Both acted as federal heads.
Some might argue it is unfair to make us sinners by Adam's sin, but that assumes you could do better. Of course that then leads to the argument if anyone could do better. And if no one could, why did God bother? I think it is because he wanted to share life, existence, joy with us. He knew the price that would need to be paid, but was worth it so that we could experience his joy.
Father, thank you for love so deep that I really cannot comprehend and at times feel as if I shouldn't even comment because it is so vast and unknown to me. Still, thanks, for there is not much I can do or say than thanks!
