Why I Chose to Blog The Bible

For as long as I could remember, I loved reading. I would read anything I could get my hands on. And like most concious readers, I tried to read books that I know would enrich my life.

Sadly, once I had a baby, reading fell by the wayside. As my New Year's mission (we all know resolutions don't work), I've decided to get back in to serious reading again. And my first project, the Bible.

Why the Bible?

1. It's the greatest, best-selling book of all time. It's a shame that I have time to read trashy romance novels but have no time for the greatest book of all time.

2. Numbers. I used to be able to read a paperback in a week. By reading the Bible, I can honestly say I've read 74 books in a year. 74 very small books, but they're books nevertheless.

3. The Real Reason. I want to have a better relationship with God. I want to know his plans for me and the world. Ever since I had a baby, I've become more aware of my mortality and the role I play in this world. I want to raise my child with faith in the Lord. How can I raise her with faith with I don't strengthen my own? By trying to understand God's message, I hope to be a better Christian, a better wife, and mother. And through this blog, I hope to find people who will help me understand this message and share this journey with me.

Without further ado, let's start reading the Bible!
