I succeeded with the Bible, then set myself the task of reading the Apocrypha, and failed dismally!<br /><br />Don't feel guilty! Sometimes God speaks through the distractions, though I have to say he hasn't yet spoken to me through the three amigos. There's always a first time.<br /><br />Why not read a bit of the Old Testament that interests you? You don't have to read it all, not even a whole book. <br /><br />I guess people are telling you to start with the New Testament because it's easier. I'd say never mind easy, go for interesting.

I found blogging through the Bible was really impractical because of how the chapters were laid out, but I'm still sticking with the reading. We all fall behind a bit.

I have also found in my Bible studies that if you fall behind, you can always catch back up.

I am so excited. Using the B90 Bible, it's only 12 pages a day, about an hour of reading.

I am also going to attempt reading the entire Bible in 90 days (through a challenge I have found on mom'stoolbox.com), although I don't quite know if I'm up to blogging through that.

We are moving closer to my husbands school. He's a full time student at the local university. He's getting his degree in Geology and a certificate for teaching. He's wanting to teach middle/high school earth science. <br />As for me...I will be a nurse in a critical care unit and a large university hospital. I will remain in the Emergency Department on an as needed basis in the same town we are moving to. I didn't realize I don't have any info about that on my blog....maybe I'll update the about me section.

You wouldn't expect a poem to be literally true, so don't expect poetry in the Bible to be literal either.<br /><br />As for this particular passage, well, it's kinda complicated! This is history, and we might expect it to be literally true. But that's the sort of history we prize and expect these days.It wasn't always like that. You used to get history that includes miraculous and unlikely happenings without any sense of embarrassment. One of my favourite examples is something called "Bede's history of the English Church and People" There are some amazing miracles in there, as well as some pretty accurate (as far as we know) historical reportage.<br /><br />How's that for a "yes and no" answer?Nick Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057233906490055877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008635957334412910.post-52551987829081597102011-05-08T19:34:01.523-07:002011-05-08T19:34:01.523-07:00That is just like my almost 2 year old Golden Retr...That is just like my almost 2 year old Golden Retriever puppy.
