I thought I had posted when I started reading through the Bible, cover to cover, but I didn't. However, I did find in an email when I started: September 5, 2011. As of today, I'm most of the way through Jeremiah.
I started because I was frustrated with putting my kids to bed and getting them to go to sleep. Sitting there wasn't working, not sitting wasn't working, white noise, reminding them to go to sleep, lights on, lights off, "I'm in the other room". None of it. So, I decided to read the Bible, aloud...Genesis is a little dry, and a lot over the heads of 2 and 4 year old...at least the NIV is. No pictures, no condensed version.
So, every night, after their bible story (condensed and with pictures), hugs, kisses and prayers, off go the majority of the lights, and out comes my bible. They go to sleep, occasionally Titus will ask a question that came from what he heard, I am actually reading through the Bible, and I'm not getting as frustrated with the "bedtime routine".
Now I just have to remember to post when I hit the end of Revelation.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.
