Milestone

Monday night I finished reading the ENTIRE Bible through for the very first time. I don't know how long it took, but I'd do a few chapters at a time each night. As I went, I checked in to confirm or debunk beliefs. Amazingly it went rather quickly - except for books like Numbers, with all those lists!

So I can chalk up one achievement on my list. Now I'm restarting the New Testament and am looking forward to reading it all again. Have hit Matthew just in time to re-read the Christmas story - how great is that! :)

I think reading the entire book has put a few things in perspective. Verses that usually don't get read have now been seen, and there are some pretty interesting correlations. I think I've got a much better overall picture now of the Good Book and what God has to say.
