Can You Say "Participation"?

Okay, the time is just about here. Our reading in Genesis begins in two days. It's time for the Bible-reading hoards to come out of the woodwork!

This is dangerous, because it may reveal that no one is reading, which would be understandable since our weather has made promoting this blog difficult.

But I'd love to know if you're reading along. If you are, do me a favor. Give me a little fist bump, preferably in the form of a comment to this post, or if that doesn't work for you, flash me some email traffic. If even that's too high tech for you... then you're probably not reading a blog.

Also, if you still need a The Bible in 365 card, let me know and I'll get you one. I'm hoping to list the readings for January in the left column (if I can figure out how). I know that little parenthetical qualifier is going to lead to several people sending me instructions. Don't. I'm a man. I don't read instructions, and I want to figure it out myself.

That brings up an interesting point. The word Torah, which denotes the first five books of the Old Testament, or more loosely all of Scripture, can be translated as instruction. Sometimes we can indulge our male impatience and skip the directions. When it comes to God's Word, we man up by taking the time to read and to submit ourselves to God's instruction.

So, Man Up! You, too, ladies.
