Bible Reading Tip #3

Great idea, Kim!

I am a list-maker. What has worked for me for a few months now is on my to-do list each day I have "spend time with God." That could mean reading/studying the Bible, reading something else religiously thought provoking, praying or meditating. I picked 30 minutes because that is usually quite doable and I generally do it in conjunction with breakfast--something I do almost every day. I feed Miyanna and she usually is content to play while I eat and spend time with God. Then I can cross it off my list!

This may seem like too sterile or too pragmatic an attitude to have...but it works. Frankly, I include things I want to do/enjoy doing on my list so I can cross them out too. This serves two purposes: 1--I can report to Randy what I've done during the day (in the absence of a "boss" to report to like at an outside job). 2--Builds in time for me to relax/play/nap during the day without feeling guilty because, hey, its on the list!

I obviously am ridiculously blessed to be in a position where I'm not hurrying off to work so this may not work for anybody else. But I wanted to share anyway.
