Hey everyone–
Thanks for your patience with this blog. I’m been struggle with some sort of lung issue for over a month–3 different types of antibiotics, a steroid, and even a trip to a Mexican pharmacy (long story for another blog post). The doctor finally said pneumonia, and I’m feeling a bit better each day.
These next few weeks cover the spiritual discipline of study. The suggestion to read a longer passage of Scripture is a good one. At a preschool staff meeting I suggested we consider Philippians, a book about joy Paul wrote while struggling in jail.
I’d also love to recommend a website and podcast: www.dailyaudiobible.com I’m on my third year of listening to the entire Bible read to me in a year, and it’s been my most consistent spiritual practice to date. Every morning on my commute I’m able to hear a reading from the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, a Psalm, and a couple of Proverbs. It’s been a great blessing to just listen and let the Word of God start my day. I know that more than a few people from Trinity have joined me in 2015. Perhaps you’d love to consider jumping in as well?
Still in One Peace,
Pastor Matt

My chosen longer studies is Psalm 111 & 1 Peter 2. In the fellowship hall, I found in the gift area, a small pocket bible. I’ve been keeping this with me, and time has opened up for me to read. Memorize not yet. But his word is has kept me and comes to mind in many situations. Just this week, I’ve been prompted to pray these chapters for Trinity. God is so good. My soul is well.
