Well, we all know how important it is to stay commited. Well, I was doing the challenge every day like crazy and not getting nearly enough out of it (don't get me wrong, my whole life would not be the same without this challenge but we can here the joys of this when I finish). Well my leader (bible study leader, not connected to challenge but somehow found out I was doing it) said not to read it like its a homework sort of thing, even if it takes longer than 90 days I should read slower, well I took his advice and I'm acctually reading the bible at a faster rate than 12 pages. Which is good. So yes, I think when I finish the challenge I will exit a more mature Christian who reads the bible at least once a day, which was hard before I started. Well, I have to get back to my homework.

Enjoy your week and God bless!

Guess its like a 'season' of sorts. Going through this exercise is a whole new season and may be style of reading that is so distinct from the more intense 'lesson learned-sin to repent-promise to claim' kind of BS. This one kinda makes one sit back and watch the unfolding, and what an amazing whole picture it unfolds. I think its gonnar make the intense BS more fun next time one embarks on it, wouldn't it? Isn't it intresting that when you STOP 'doing' the reading and relax, you get to read even faster at times instead of slower. How about that!
