       I am certainly a believer in having a good, solid morning devotional time. It is a place where I can re-gear my mind, per say, and get all of my thoughts in check. I can let go of any desires that have cropped up and are subtly robbing me of my freedom. I remind myself that all that really matters is God. In this whole entire process, then, in whatever I am reading, whether that is a good book or the Good Book, I try to take a few notes so that I can remember what I was thinking about. If I am on my smartphone or tablet, for instance, I accomplish this task through taking a screenshot of the important information. One thing I have found is that some days my devotional re-gearing seems to wear off as the day carries along. Sometimes it’s by late-afternoon or even the evening. This doesn’t always happen, but it does on some days. I have forgotten what I had refreshed my mind on in the morning. So, what I have found is that it can be good to have what I call a ‘Devotional Refresh’ that occurs around lunchtime or later in the afternoon. It doesn’t have to be a long time, say ten minutes, where you go over the notes you took from your morning devotion.
