Rereading the Bible Bible List

New year, new me! Right? Wrong. This year is all about developing the plans I started last year. So it might be new year, old me! For this first part of the New Year I’m going to focus on re-reading the Bible. I’m starting a self-written plan inspired by a Youtube Video I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uIXzUEwrOg The video took a good look at the data and created a timeline on when specific parts of the Bible were written. The bible is a multigenerational written document, so it makes sense that some portions were written well before others. So my reading plan is simple. I’m going to try to follow the order list as close as possible. I am including some of the apocrypha in this rereading. The following is the order in which I’m going to start my reading on: Proverbs Psalms Amos Hosea Genesis Exodus Leviticus First Part of Isaiah Micah Deuteronomy Joshua Judges 1 & 2 Samuel 1 & 2 Kings Zephaniah Numbers Nahum Habakkuk Jeremiah Obadiah Lamentations Ezekiel Zechariah Ha...

Technically speaking, this Friday (03/20/20) will be the eighth day that my “self-quarantine” began. I do not believe my room has ever been this clean. I just bought some new storage bins to keep my pantry in order. Ideally, I’d buy a whole lot more storage bins. But let me be honest, I am using my Spring Break to occupy my mind with things other than grad school. The biggest assignment of my life is coming up. I know, that is very dramatic. All of my assignments in seminary have been the biggest assignments of my life. I am just very dedicated to my passion and calling to be a minister.
The assignment is the first “practice” of a Lord’s Day, or Sunday Worship Service.I have to memorize four spoken components of worship and record myself for my classmates AND professor. I am very nervous about it. The last three months tried my faith. I am scrubbing and wringing the biblical text to explore things that question essential doctrine to the church.

Perhaps my endless questioning and searching will be my demise. I know my humor can be my demise, I apologize to all those that think it is. But apologies do not mean anything if they are not followed by actions. Moving forward I am going to practice more of my calling. I am going to start practicing for my assignment. I am going to blog a little bit more. There is more to this world than the road we walk on. Perhaps you can join me and find your own adventures?
