This morning my boys (4 and 8) were talking about our upcoming trip. They are both extremely excited. My older boy told the younger to ask God to help him not to be so excited. The younger asked, "How does God talk to us?" Big brother answered, "He talks to us when we read the bible." As I was basking in the depth of his understanding, little brother replies, "But I cant read!"
Well I can read, and I am going to try to read through the Bible this year for the first time in my life. I am not committing to read every day but to be diligent to read more regularly. Last night, I read (with my oldest) Genesis 1-5. People sure lived a long time back in the day. I was also surprised that Cain and Abel had a brother named Seth. That probably makes me a biblical idiot but hey, I am. Bible names are so random. With names like Seth, why use Enoch or Mahalalel. I am also going to try to read another book this year, Pillars of the Earth. Here's hoping. Anyway, I hope to get back to posting more often... no promises but I will try.
