got milk?
Not to take away from the ever famous quote: "Got Milk?" But, got milk? Spiritual milk?
That sounds like I'm preparing a sermon or something. Ugh.
Today in church, I was so tired I had to do something just to keep from nodding off, so I wrote out song lyrics on paper while trying to pay attention at the same time. Something from the sermon that I took note of was that the speaker told us we had to turn to the Word of God daily, or we would just fall back into temptation. "Read the Bible!" he said.
Okay, I don't remember if he said that exactly, but, that's the gist of it.
And I thought, hey, cool...because I'm having problems with not falling into temptation myself (as I'm sure a lot of people do). And I've never really gotten into regularly reading the Bible. Last year, I tried the reading-the-Bible-in-one-school-year thing, but I stopped somewhere in Joshua. Over the summer, I tried starting to read the Bible again, but I didn't even manage to finish Genesis.
I didn't even bother to try doing the reading-the-Bible-in-one-school-year this year.
It's sad, really, considering that I am such an avid reader. I read so many other books but I can't spare time for the Bible?
So I've decided to try this: reading the Bible by sections (using the headings given in the NIV version though we at school use the NLT version) and actually blogging my opinions, thoughts, etc. for each section.
And this being on the web...I want people to make sure I do it every day. If I don't, I should make it up the following day...I mean, if I skip a day.
So, yeah. There's my *laugh* brilliant plan, but I'm hoping I'll do it. I really should.
So...yeah...
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Hmm, you remind me of someone,,,me?
JUst a little. I was thinking about the Bible In one School Year thing to, i actually started it; I think I only got to the second day.
That is not good. I don't really want to start at the beginning though. I think I want to start in the New Testament. It is hard to remember to read the bible. Why is that when I can spend HOURS a day reading other stuff? It is hard to keep priorities strait.

I agree. It is a huge problem for me. I really need to start reading my bible. You have a great idea, Steph.
