The Women's Retreat this year really impressed some things upon me, and one of them, as so many times before, was that I really ought to read my Bible. Having tried various approaches that never pan out for whatever reason, and having more free time with Peter home, I'm taking the plunge. The entire thing, cover to cover. Oh, and I decided none of this read your bible in a year stuff this time, 90 days. Maybe less.
It's so strange to me as I think on it now how I could ever have expected to have an idea of what was within this most important of books when I've only read bits and pieces here and there willy nilly regardless of context. That's not how I read books. I imagine if I read any of my beloved books like that I would never have really gotten the proper sense of what they were about. No wonder it never worked out for me!
It's been such a great blessing so far, and I already have a better sense of who God is and who I am in Him.. There's so many thoughts and realizations I've had I feel like I'm playing catch up trying to record them all now, but better late than never.
So here we go, and there was evening, and there was morning.
