Happy Day 5.....The Scriptures

I love reading the scriptures and it always makes me happy to do so.

What I love about them:
  • How I can learn something new every time I read.
  • How I pick out new things or have new insight based on my life at the time.
  • How true I know they are.
  • How I cant sit down and read the scriptures with out feeling better, stronger and more spirtitual.
  • How they can set a better tone for the day.
  • How I can read 5 minutes here and there and each time its like I get a dose of feel goods and caffine.
Ill admit though I am terrible at reading on a regular basis. What I am doing to be better about reading my scriptures (kind of funny when I think about it): (I should mention most are goals that I am slowly implementing...my goal do each and all by the end of the weekend)
  • Bringing them to work each day to read during my beloved 15 minute breakes
  • Creation of my Daily Dose of Scripture blog (read previous post)
  • I am going to read each night before bed and each morning (you know with those so called morning and evening prayers we are supposed to have...another funny...should be another goal)
  • Read for 15 minutes when I get home from work
  • Read 30 minutes extra on days off of work :)
  • Read the entire Standard Works by the end of 2011 (And guess what its only 2 pages of each, and 4 chapters in the OT...I am pretty sure I can do it...hey maybe even get ahead.)
