Comments on: The Quiet Time: Let’s Get Specific (part 2) http://runinsuchaway.com/2009/02/13/the-quiet-time-lets-get-specific-part-2/ Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. - 1 Corinthians 9:24 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:53:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Michael Blankenship http://runinsuchaway.com/2009/02/13/the-quiet-time-lets-get-specific-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-67 Michael Blankenship Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:05:38 +0000 http://runinsuchaway.com/2009/02/13/the-quiet-time-lets-get-specific-part-2/#comment-67 Thanks for this reminder, Tom. My quiet time has to happen in the morning, before the kids are up. If my schedule gets changed because of an early appointment and I miss my time in the Bible, I have the feeling all day that I am forgetting something. Even though I tell myself I will get to it later in the day, there is no quiet time here later in the day unless I wait until everyone is back in bed. By then, I am trying to close out the current day in my mind and begin thinking about the next day's activities - so again it is not true quiet time. My point is to find "the" quiet time that works for you, your family and your schedule and stick to it. You can't grow ANY relationship without spending time on it. So take the time to spend on your MOST important relationship - with Jesus Christ. Thanks again Tom! Thanks for this reminder, Tom.
