Good day dear friends.
We can see light because Jesus is light and in two Sundays we complete our sermon series, "The Grand Slam: Through the Bible in A Year." It has not been easy. To set such a lofty goal even in one's personal life is difficult, but for a whole church to be exposed to the Bible is even more difficult. With that in mind I share what I received from a friend of mine:
Diary Of A Bible
JANUARY: A busy time for me. Most of the family decided to read me through this year. They kept me busy for the first two weeks, but they have forgotten me now.
FEBRUARY: Clean-up time. I was dusted yesterday and put in my place. My owner did use me for a few minutes last week. He had been in an argument and was looking up some references to prove he was right.
MARCH: Had a busy day first of the month. My owner was elected president of the PTA and used me to prepare a speech.
APRIL: Grandpa visited us this month. He kept me on his lap for an hour reading I Corinthians 13. He seems to think more of me than do some people in my own household.
MAY: I have a few green stains on my pages. Some spring flowers werepressed in my pages.
JUNE: I look like a scrapbook. They have stuffed me full of newspaperclippings - one of the girls was married.
JULY: They put me in a suitcase today. I guess we are off on vacation. I wish I could stay home; I know I'll be closed up in this thing for at least two weeks.
AUGUST: Still in the suitcase.
SEPTEMBER: Back home at last and in my old familiar place. I have a lot of company. Two women's magazines and four comic books are stacked on top of me. I wish I could be read as much as they are.
OCTOBER: They read me a little bit today. One of them is very sick. Right now I am sitting in the center of the coffee table. I think the Pastor is coming by for a visit.
NOVEMBER: Back in my old place. Somebody asked today if I were a scrapbook.
DECEMBER: The family is busy getting ready for the holidays. I guess I'll be covered up under wrapping paper and packages again ... just as I am every Christmas.

It is not too late to try and catch up! Two Sundays to go and we'll have covered the books of the Bible, with the exception of The Psalms and Proverbs. We will cover the Psalms in a four-week series immediately after we finish the series.
What is your Bible saying about you?
PRAYER: Living God, we thank You for Your living Word. Speak to me today as I read in the Bible. May each word in it speak truth, life, love, and hope to my life. And may my life speak that to those in need. I pray in Christ Jesus' precious Name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
