I've discovered that the best way for me to regularly read the bible is to leave one lying around where I know my bored eye will fall on it.
A few days ago, by chance, I left a bible on the dining room table...
The next morning, when I came down to breakfast it was sitting there so I thought - 'why not?'... and I opened it... and read some of it with my porridge.
The next morning I did the same...
The next morning I did the same again... and I got a book out of the bookcase to help me understand a bit more of it...
Later that day we tidied up at home and, because we needed the table for a family meal, we put the bible back in the bookcase...
It's been a week, and although I only read it for three days in a row, I realise now that I quite enjoyed it...
I'm going to get it back out of the bookcase tonight and put it back on the table again...
Excellent tip friend. And there's me normally having golden syrup with my porridge, getting myself into a sticky situation when I could be "wording up" for the day ahead.
ReplyDeleteAh... does this serve as an excuse for me to avooid tidying up?
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteI kept a Bible in my overhead at work for a time, so that every morning when I'd open the cabinet to plug in my laptop, I'd have to physically pick up my Bible and move it... this resulted in me reading a chapter or two while my computer booted up.
Great post.
