One year readings

I bought a One Year Bible over the weekend.

Before I bought this one, I did receive a Bible back in high school when I was confirmed into the church. I have always kept that Bible in a drawer. Probably in all of the years I have had it, I probably have only opened it up less then 10 times. I have never really read it because the print is small and the Bible is a very long book.

I was recently talking to my husband about the Bible. I said that even though I went to catechism class until I was confirmed as a freshman in high school, that I had no idea who people are and events in the Bible. That got me thinking. At my church, I'm involved in three ministries: Altar Server, Sacristan and Eucharistic minister. I figured that I should have knowledge as to what I'm hearing in Mass every weekend.

I bought the One Year Bible because it helps you read the entire Bible in one year. Each day has a schedule reading that comes from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.

I bought this book a couple of weeks after the start of the new year. That means I was already behind on the readings. I sat down with this Bible Monday and read. I am caught up with the current reading.

As I'm reading this as an adult, I hope I can hold on to the information and remember. Unlike when I attended catechism class, I really didn't pay attention. This is my opportunity to finally pay attention.
