I. Am. On. DAY ONE of the Bible Burn!
...No. there is no actual combustion going on. My good ole Bible is in good shape.
In fact, it's being put to good use. And it's going to be in (very. very. very. very very very) good use for at least the next 65 hours.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. This Bible Burn of which I speak represents something very simple: 66 books. 72 hours.
That is MAJOR CONSUMPTION of the Word of God! Can you say hardcore?
Okay okay. Bringing it all back to what's really at work here....I can only say that I am immensely grateful for this love of the Scriptures that my God has infused in me. He's pretty clear about the fact that without His initiation, nobody seeks after the Lord on his own. It is only by His grace that I am willing, if entirely unable, to reciprocate His love and at least respond in some tiny way.
The Bible Burn is one of them.
The saturation in Scriptures has been exhilarating so far. I'm about 7 hours into the 72 total hours-- here's how it's been going so far:
Grab a water bottle, lock self in room...
...aaand timer starts at 00:00 -- Starting at Genesis 1:1
01:15 -- Genesis down!
*complete a few chores, grab a few snacks*
02:54 -- Exodus down!
04:01 -- Leviticus down! I should mention that I had dinner in between chapters 3 and 4.
06:38 -- Numbers down! Phew!
It's been thunderstorming all day and it's actually pretty soothing. It's like the angels in heaven are cheering me on (in really really deep voices... o.O).
The Burn continues!
Over and Out. I leave you with a picture of something I'm working on in between chapters chock full of "sundry laws" and instructions for tabernacle-construction.
