The post today is going to be a little on the short side but maybe some of this stuff about reading Scripture in a new way takes a little while to sink in...
Just picking up on a little bit of a theme from yesterday, I want to suggest a few things.
1. Read with purpose.
2. Do some background study on setting, criticisms, commentaries already out there...
3. Take notes.
4. Ask questions.
5. Ask more questions.
*6. Let the passage work on you for a few days then read it again.
* 7. Pray. Before reading. After reading. Pray.
See if some of these suggestions jumpstart your Bible reading...
Tomorrow, I will suggest some helpful resources to have or consult regarding what you are reading.

I too have greatly profited from Peterson's book. (Eat this Book)

You know what I hate....staying up 'til almost Midnite to watch the stinking Dallas Stars lose their 10th playoff overtime game in a row.....ESPECIALLY when it's at the hands of a team from a foreign country!!!!!
