The Diary Of a Bible

"*January 15. Been resting for a week. A few nights after the first of the year, my owner opened me, but no more. Another New Year's resolution gone wrong.


*February 3. Owner picked me up and rushed off to Sunday school.


*February 23. Cleaning day. Dusted and put back in my place.


*April 2. Busy day. Owner had to present the lesson at a church society meeting. Quickly looked up a lot of references.


*May 5. Grandma's back in town. Back in her lap. A very comfortable place.


*May 9. She let a tear fall on John 14.


*May 10. Grandma's gone. Back in my old place again.


*May 20. Baby born. They wrote his name on one of my pages.


*July 1. Packed in a suitcase. Off for vacation.


*July 20. Still in the suitcase. Almost everything else taken out.


*July 25. Home again. Quite a journey, though I don't see why I went.


*August 16. Dusted again and put in a prominent place. The minister is to be here for dinner.


*August 20. Owner wrote Grandma's death in the Family Record. He left his extra pair of glasses between my pages.


*December 31. Owner just found his glasses. Wonder if he will make any resolutions about me for the new year?


What story would your Bible tell? Are you reading your Bible daily? Are you memorizing portions, hiding them in your heart? Are you obeying the Bible? Are you letting it guide your life? Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.""

--God Wrote a Book, James MacDonald

Goals for March 2011

Alright, this isn't going to be much of a post, but I reassure you, I am going to post something spiritual on Monday. I promise. Just hold on.
Now, I don't usually make goals for months, but I am going to make one this month, becuase otherwise I won't get much done.
So here we go.

I. Finish first edit of Iceblade ((the first part of AD, the story I am editing right now)). Which isn't very far in the big picture, but this week wasn't all that great for editing. At most I only edited a fight scene, and a part where I introduce the Iceblade to my characters. So, those were important parts, but such a drag to get through.
Anyways, I need to finish that soon.

II. Finish reading Holiness by J.C. Ryle.
I need to finish it becuase I have been in the middle of it for...a few months actually. Have 8 chapters left, I believe. It's an excellent book, whether you are Calvinistic or Arminian, it is a fantastic book for both groups. Ryle presents a lot of deep subjects to think about, it's an excellent book for every Christian.

III. Finish reading the section 'The Knowledge of God the Redeemer' in John Calvin's Institutes.
Which is a little less than 200 pages now. Gives me a little hope, but it's still a lot to read.
I say that becuase I am lazy, and don't spend all that much time with dead guys anymore. Which is really bad, becuase I need to start hanging out with them more. Have a lot to learn from them.

IIII. Finish the second WoT book, The Great Hunt.
I have a little less than 200 pages on this one too. Except it's much easier for this one, because I don't have to use so much of my mind and be so focused. It's Epic Fantasy, that's why.

Anyways, those are my goals for this next month. And I promise you guys, I will post something spiritual on Monday. Hope that all of you have a fantastic weekend!

God bless,
  A.W.
