Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

July 7, 2011


I am going to try and keep my blog more current. I haven't posted anything in almost a month! And a busy month it has been.

One thing occupying my time is I am again taking the Read the Bible in 90 Days class at church. This involves a lot of reading each day. What I am finding this second time through the class is I am absorbing what I'm reading a bit more. The first time through, I was reading fast to try and keep up and some days I felt I really didn't "read" it. Kind of hard to explain. But, this time I'm reading with more purpose and also keeping a notebook beside me. I am pausing and writing things down, especially stories or passages that stand out to me.

Reading the entire Bible is not easy. Parts of it are really difficult and tedious. I made it through Leviticus which is one of the more difficult books...and Numbers. My next hurdle will be Isaiah. I remember that as being a difficult book to read the first time through the class.

But, what an accomplishment. I've read the entire Bible once..and at the end of this summer I will have read it again.
