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)).

Matthew 11:4–6 (ESV) —
4 And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
The world attacks every mention of the Christian God, his word, his morals, and his activities. It is becoming more important than ever to stand up for truth in a world that hates truth. It is actively trying to pull us from our relationship with God. But Jesus tells us that we are blessed if we are not offended by his words. In other words, we need to stand up and tell the truth of the gospel. God promises his blessing to those who act such.

Father, protect us from the evil one and his schemes. One of his greatest schemes is to turn the culture against us using emotional arguments that sound good but are based on faulty logic. Lord protect us from such thinking. Keep our minds alert to truth.
