I'm at the end of my month of Proverbs reading and, frankly, I very much miss the practice of regular reading through the Bible. I've printed out the Discipleship Journal reading plan and intend to use that. I was going to try reading through the whole Bible in two months, but I'm not sure that is the best way to spend my reading time.
I was excited that perhaps I could start using Palm Bible+ to do my regular reading. I was disappointed to discover that it doesn't do paragraph formatting for any Bibles. As Dr. Meadors explained, when you go purely verse-by-verse you effectively butcher the Bible since it is not meant to be read that way. However, I am stoked that I can put the Westcott-Hort Greek translation on my Palm with Strong's numbers. There is a freeware program that I can use for the Strong's dictionary. This means that I can follow along in church using the Greek bible. What's best is that I don't have to carry my Greek New Testament to church. I think that looks a bit gauche when all I want is to practice my Greek.
The thing that gets me is just how awful it is not to take advantage of all the resources I have. I've written this before. As I was trimming bushes this morning it occurred to me that this is a sin that I can't really deal with. It was easier for me to deal with sexual sin than it is for me to deal with how little time I spend in God's Word. Pretty ridiculous.
