My new plan - Bible time

So. This morning I woke up at 6am and said to myself, "Why am I awake?" Okay, so I guess I will feed the baby and read a book. I have been working myself through the "Grub and Stakers" series from Charlotte MacLeod. This morning I thought, "I could read a lot of bible in the same time I take to read a chapter or two of a mystery." So I opened up to the book of Matthew. This month the kids have been watching the movie "Matthew" with Bruce Marchiano and following along in their bibles. There are a few verses in there that I don't think I have ever actually read for myself before. God has such a quirky sense of humor. He just ties things together and reinforces what you think is right. Pastor Mark was preaching this morning on living generously. One of his 4 points was that we need to give God our first time in our day. Since the first thing I do every day is feed the baby, I can spend that time reading or studying or praying instead of just occupying myself. So far so good. Let's see how long I can keep it up. 31 days is a habit!
