Genesis 1 – Revelation 22:21
A year has passed. For anyone who has stayed with me, we have had the pleasure of reading the Bible this year, 2008. I found reading the Bible on the computer every day very odd indeed because I have read the Bible in book form previously. And there is something to be said for each format. I am not certain what exactly. I prefer reading Bible in hand.
But it has been a wonderful experience, and I am going to continue. I invite anyone else who is reading this to join. Maybe we can get some discussions going this year. I have to admit that I have been surprised that so few people have appeared on these pages on the website. One of the things the “gurus” told me about building a website was that it needs to be interactive.
I could think of nothing more interactive than reading the Bible and sharing with one another. I was wrong evidently. And at times I have felt that what I did on here didn’t matter. And then I understood that it mattered to God, and that was all that was necessary on my part. All I can do is present the resources. Other people must decide whether they will or will not use them.
There are wonderful people to meet in the Bible. There are Adam, Eve, Moses, Gideon, Nathan, Deborah, David, Uriah, Darius, Joseph…several of them…Mary and Mary and Mary, Peter, Paul, Ananias, and last but not least Jesus. He is not just an acquaintance but our friend and Savior.
And I am going to continue with the blog. I started off like a house on fire, but I wasn’t able to keep up that pace so I am going to try to write once a week. That, for me, is probably more reasonable.
I thank those people who have taken the time to comment on my writing this year. It always makes me smile when I see that somebody has commented. If he/she agrees or disagrees I smile nonetheless. I cannot help myself.
I have just finish “Revelation.” I must say that is a perplexing book. I can see why there was such a debate about whether it should be included in the Bible. But like the angel said to John who had fallen to his knees to worship the angel. “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” And that is what I shall do. I hope you join me.
