so far...so good...!

Bible in 90 Days...who would have thought? I keep hearing about people who are "joining" our little effort to read the Bible in 90 Days. Some are across the county. The "little church with a big mission" that is Church of the Covenant really does have a long reach. But then it's not our reach, but the "finger of God."

In class on Sunday, one participant remarked that it was surprising how little text is devoted to the story of baby Moses, when compared to the amount of text in Exodus devoted to the construction instructions for the tabernacle. I was pondering this. It seems that many of us have an impression of the Bible that was formed when we were children. Those childhood stories stick with us. Baby Moses in the bullrushes is a charming story, but it's not nearly the whole story.
Not many of us have re-encountered the Bible now that we're adults. Maybe we're 'stuck' in a pre-adult phase of our understanding, that came to us when other adults helped us hear the Bible stories for the first time. Now that we're adults, reading so much of the Bible is good way to put off our childhood impressions and see what the Bible really says!

OK, everyone...ready to tackle Leviticus tomorrow? Remember that if we get through this week, we'll have pulled through more of the difficult text than most people who try to read the Bible straight through.
