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 18 Sep 19, 1 Thess 3:8, The joy of seeing spiritual children grow


1 Thessalonians 3:8 (ESV) — For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.

NOTE: Paul cared deeply for the people he had led to the Lord and those he had discipled in the Lord. He loved them greatly. For him, real living was knowing that his spiritual children and adopted spiritual children were standing firm in their faith. That is my desire as well for those that I minister to. There is a sense of pride (in a good sense) when they involve themselves in ministry or when they share something that God is doing or changing in their life.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for the IDGs and the opportunity to be a part of the lives of three more men. I pray for them that you would challenge them, you would change them, you would reveal yourself to them. I pray these next 8-9 months can establish a new habit and course of life for them. Thank you for your goodness.
