Behind

We're behind. Majorly behind. It's terrible, awful, irresponsible. But, can you blame us? We're university students trying to keep up with our studies and homework and also attempting to read through the Bible in a year. And we're stuck in Numbers. I have to say, I'm getting very tired of Moses' writing style. Repetitions anyone? In my opinion, Moses could have seriously edited down his writing for more conciseness. He definitely could have used a couple English classes like Expository Writing and Creative Writing. But things could be worse. We could still be back in Leviticus. That's where we started getting stuck. Somehow we managed to finish that book and move on to the fourth book of law, and for that I am truly grateful. Anyway, here's the thing. Jonathan and I are on Numbers 13 (supposed to be read for Feb. 28) when we should be reading Deuteronomy 30 for today. So we might try a new tactic. On days that we can't manage to find time to read the chapters together, we'll read them separately and then blog about what we found surprising or interesting or uplifting, etc. We need to update this blog more often anyway. So that's our current plan for staying on track when we're too busy to read together out loud. We'll let you know how it's working in a week or two.
