Reading the entire Bible in only 90 days – again

This will be my second go-around reading the entire Bible in only 90 days. I read last summer after discovering the program hosted at Mom’s Toolbox. Earlier this year, I mentored a group of other women reading because I knew how important that encouragement to keep going is – especially when bogged down in a long Old Testament book.

This time I’m only reading and definitely popping into Twitter for the #B90days chatter. In fact, it was during that Twitter banter that I got the idea to re-read again for the summer.

I know! I’m a wild and crazy gal. Reading the entire Bible twice in two summers. (Don’t make fun of me to my face, okay? I’m sensitive.)

Why read the entire Bible with all it’s boring bits? All that stuff in Numbers and Leviticus and . . . all those dead prophets?

Yeah. All that crazy stuff.

Moses and Elijah are going to be talking about those good ole days in heaven and you won’t be able to follow the conversation because you never read about it. What if there is a pop quiz in heaven?

Kidding.

Because it’s our history. If you are a follower of Christ, then it’s the backbone of your faith too. And don’t you think you should at least read it all through cover-to-cover, Genesis to Revelation, at least once?

If you have never read the entire Bible before, but can’t seem to get it together, this is the group for you.You can’t beat the accountability and encouragement, we even have fast moving Twitter chats on night of the week if you need

It’s the end of Day Two of our church’s Vacation Bible School. We’re doing Superhero Headquarters. Catchy tunes, but I miss the old songs I sang as a girl. “Father Abraham,” “This Little Light of Mine,” “I am a C – H – R – I – S – T – I – A – N.”

I learned a lot of theology in those simple songs.

It’s Susan’s last year because she’s twelve, next year she wants to be a teacher’s helper so she can wear a costume. Lucy intentionally bumped up to the kindergartners. Edmund accidentally enrolled in with an older age group because I never can keep track of what his public school grade should be. Peter had everyone up at 6: 30 am so we wouldn’t be late. Yesterday we were 15 minutes late. Today we left early.

I think I finally have a child willing to be the official time keeper other than I.

I guess you can learn more than just Bible from Vacation Bible School.

I’m in the “store”. Does your church do a store, where you earn stamps for memory verses, bringing a friend, having good behavior, so you can trade in the smiley faces for candy and cheap toys? I’m not sure I like the store. Don’t tell my kids I said that.

One of my favorite aspects of VBS is the crafts. I’ve always loved the crafts. I think I’ll scan a few of my favorites from this year and post them. That may be the only way they survive.

Currently there are seven kids in my house. Ages: 12, 10, 10, 10 as of tomorrow, 9, 8 and 5.

It’s raining.

Maybe I should get off the computer.
