On January 1st 2016, I read Genesis 1. I promised myself that I would read one chapter of the Bible every day until I finished it. Tonight, I read Revelation 22.

Great job. Now maybe do a time every day like 15-30 minutes. You know what's in there so there's nothing to be afraid of anymore, you know? That's what kept me from reading it for awhile a long time ago. I didn't know what I'd find. Now I can read it more than I can read anything else.

But let me say it again: GREAT JOB!

Someone once told me it is like picking rice. Apparently when you pick rice, you pull it up out of the water in a strainer. The idea is that we know what is in the Bible, but it gets kinda cloudy and muddy. We don't quite remember it exactly. And the precision of the verses is as important as knowing the overarching idea of it all.

It really is the only book you ever have to read and you did something even a lot of religious people never do in their life. GREAT JOB! And I'm not calling you Job, but you know that story (I'm a Dad, it's allowable)
