a start

When I titled this blog "attempting to read the Bible" I was thinking about attempting to finish the whole Bible in this semester, because I am sure I'll be one of those people who just doesn't spend enough time reading it. Then, I actually started reading the Bible and the title took on a different meaning — it really was an attempt to read the Bible without much success. It didn't help that it was late and I was tired, but two chapters into Genesis my eyes started drooping and I had to give it up. It was then I realized that reading the Bible took great willpower and focus. That was Tuesday night. I haven't picked up the Bible since.

I know I've been slacking — I only got a few chapters into Michael Plotz's blog-version of "the Good Book" when I gave that up too. I'm thinking the best way to tackle this is to set aside at least an hour a day to really focus on this reading. Even though I've been slacking, I am kind of excited to tackle the task because the class has been very intriguing so far. My next blog will hold great insights, I'm sure.
