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 6 Sep 18, Heb 1:11, Growing old


Hebrews 1:11 (ESV) —
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,

NOTE: Someday, everything in life will seem harder and more difficult. Already, I can't play sports like I used to. I can't climb things like I used to. I can't even fall nicely like I used to. My energy is less than it used to be. I am getting old and my body is wearing down. But three things to note. One, God does not grow old. Two, my body will be resurrected to a glorious state someday. Three, my relationship with the savior does not have to grow old. It can be just as living and active and viral as the day I placed my faith in Jesus. And actually, it is better today than it ever has been. I know the savior so much better. I see him working so much more clearly. I understand him and his word in a way I never did before. And for all things I can't do or soon won't able to do, knowing God will not be one of those things, it will only get better with time.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for saving me and opening my eyes to truth. Thank you for your love and for speaking to me through the word and your spirit. I pray I would not harden my heart to your still small voice.
