@ Kir – Right on, I know exactly what you mean about the BM deal bleeding over into a QT. Here’s a question: What’s the difference between Bible Study and a Quiet Time? Is there one at all? I’m not a huge fan of the term “Quiet Time” (it sounds like something I was punished with as a child). But I do think we are called in the Bible to make His word close to our hearts by studying it and knowing it but also called to simply spend time praying and growing the relationship with God. It is a tough balance. Thanks for sharing.

I think it may just be too difficult to choose a book, read through, then choose another. I’ve kind of stopped that.

Right now, I’m doing the Beth Moore Daniel Study. Which wasn’t supposed to be incorporated in my QT because I wanted “just time with God, just poring over His Word and praying”. But this study is actually really great at helping me focus and I do end up praying and such with it. Very good, very insightful info on the end times! (Which can also cause your head to spin.)

And I’m now reading the bible in 90 days. It’s challenging with some of the detailed descriptions, but I love it. God is tearing Himself out of the box I put Him in, and it’s great. It’s like I’m finally getting to know the history of the One I talk to and put all my trust in. It also now seems a bit odd that I’ve given my life to God and never read His whole book to know what I was getting into.

This novel ends here. That’s what I’m doing right now.
