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)).

Eph 2:1-10
Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) —
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
God has designed us. We are called his workmanship. As such, we are well made, a piece of absolute craftmanship. But there is also purpose in the design, and that purpose is called good works. God has designed us for specific good works (which might be different for different people and different designs).
What is my purpose? What good works have I been designed to do? My purpose is not to make money, although that is a requirement to take care of a family. My purpose is twofold (in my mind). My purpose is to make disciples and to teach others how to walk with God.
Father, thank you for the incredible privilege to serve you in your work here on earth. Thank you for how you have designed me. Thank you for the opportunities that you have given me. Give me grace to be faithful to your calling.
