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)).

QT 17 Jul 18, 1 Cor 6:20, A Christian really does not own his life anymore, it is owned by God and should be operated by God

1 Corinthians 6:20 (ESV) — for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
I have been bought at a terrible price. The price is so high that it is beyond my comprehension, except that it saved me from eternal torment and pain. God gave his own son so that I might experience eternal life with him. Therefore, I (we) have an obligation to God. We are to use the life we have been given for his glory. We can't live for ourselves when such a high price has been given.
Father, help me to keep my focus on my calling. Continue to use me in new ways and new ministries, but may I never forget how high a price you paid to save me.
