OK! Last night I finished reading my bible completely through for the first time. Amazing. I feel like I've been given a wonderful gift. Today I start over in Genesis again. My plan this time is to read at least 1 hour per day straight through. Also I'm going to pick out 1 book of the bible each week and read it as many times as I can in that week in between other stuff that I'm doing and at night before I go to sleep. I'm so excited!! God's Word is contagious - the more you read it the more you want to read more.
I've also started our 7 and 9 year olds doing the same thing. My 9 year old finds a quiet spot and reads 30 minutes a day and my 7 year old and I read her bible before she goes to bed at night. It is really increasing their vocabulary. I'm amazed at the words they are saying and understanding from doing it.
