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)).

2 Thess 1:5-12

2 Thessalonians 1:10 (ESV) — when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
This is the second coming, at the end of the tribulation, and seven plus years after the rapture. We will return with Jesus as He executes judgment against all the armies of the world. He will establish his rule and his reign on earth at that time. But in order to be part of that day, we need to believe the testimony of Jesus. That he was God ; that he died for our sins; that he rose from the dead; and that he has a glorified body with no stain of sin on it.
Father, the tribulation period is such a painful terrible time. But it is right and fair, because it is your justice expressed to a deserving humanity. We made ourselves gods. We disobeyed you at every turn. We wanted to live life apart from the creator. We refused to acknowledge the creator. We deserve every aspect of the final judgment.
