Novembinge

I listened to a Christian podcast two weeks ago when a minister suggested that he was going to have church read through the gospels in 4 weeks.  He said - you could do it by reading three chapters a week.  I put together a chart in which I saw we could do it - read through the gospels in order.  In other words, first Matthew, then Mark, then Luke, then John.

I brought it to the Bible study group that was currently doing "God casts" and someone suggested reading the four books together concurrently.  So, I put that together and have presented it to the congregation as a challenge.  And I will include it here.

My thinking was - lets do it and see what we learn and how we grow.  Let us see what God is going to do with us when we invest ourselves in this faithful reading.  So, yesterday I started and immediately was blessed by it.  I understood in a new way that Matthew begins with Joseph's perspective and Luke with Mary's and both John is so symbolic.  Anyway, I look forward to doing the readings today.  I have a journal that I just take notes in.  We will see where this will lead!
