Goals
I’m in my thirties. Looking at the average age of death of the men in my family I’ve come to the realization that I’m closing the midpoint of my life already. One thing I’ve always wanted to do was read the entire Bible, so that when I finally kick the bucket and find myself in the face of God and he asks me what can I account for myself I can at least say that I’ve read the entire “Instruction Manual”. *snicker*
I initially was reading the Bible that was blessed during our Wedding but I gave up on it because it was a King James Version. Those “thou’s” and “thee’s” were giving me a headache trying to understand what message the passage was trying to convey.
Not easily deterred by that, the next step was to look for an alternate Bible. I’ve realized then that we have an abundance of Bible’s in the house. I stopped counting when I’ve found 5 already. The problem now was trying to find the right one, aside from it being in modern verse, it also had to be Catholic (yep, our family is split into two Faiths with basically the same God.)
So now I’m into Kings 2 after having found my Bible and having settled into reading it. It’s definitely a good experience and a worthy endeavour to try to learn your faith more.

how amazing, i’ve also started reading the bible starting late last year with the only bible in the house, the little blue new testament. Good thing, my college best friend gave me a nice holy bible last may 10. I’m starting over again. With the new testament i’m already in corinthians II, but with the old testament i just finished the seventh day of the Creation..
That’s nice to hear lay. Good Luck with your Journey in Faith
