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 25 Mar 19, 2 Pet 1:16, You can't ignore the eyewitness of Jesus Christ's work, death, and resurrection


2 Peter 1:16 (ESV) — For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

NOTE: This is an incredibly powerful testimony for a man who whose whole life was changed by Jesus Christ and who died for his testimony to the truth. And he is not the only EYEWITNESS who gave his or her life for the message. I've said before; second- and third-generation martyrs do not testify to truth, only to their zeal, misguided or not. But first-generation martyr testimonies cannot be easily dismissed. Islam has no first generation martyrs. Islam has no miracles. Christianity stands along among the world's religion in this regard in terms of miracles, eyewitnesses, first-generation martyrs, and proof of eternal life (the resurrected Jesus). It is historical and accurate despite the attempts to cast doubts. A reasoned investigation will prove these claims.

PRAYER: Father, open the eyes of the world to the things that they do not want to believe -- your existence, your creation, and your salvation in Jesus and Jesus alone.
