I’ve been working this Summer on organizing my Bible class activities that have been collecting in the hall closet. I ran out of Summer but, thankfully, I’m just about done with the project. I have four more boxes to go through and I hope to be able to whittle those down to two boxes. We’ll see how it goes.
While going through a box of miscellaneous items tonight I came across a little bit of information I thought I would share. Did you know it takes less than 12 hours to read the entire New Testament? That’s it! Five of the books can each be read in less than 5 minutes. There are only 4 books that take more than an hour to read. I can watch TV for an hour without even thinking about it.
Here is a a list of how long it takes to read each book. Hopefully, by sharing this information, you and I will be encouraged to read it more frequently without feeling like it is a huge undertaking.
