If you were in worship this week or read the sermon online, you know that the homework this week is reading scripture every day. So what are you reading?
I am rereading Matthew's Gospel. I read the first three chapters yesterday and read through chapter 5 this morning. I actually read out loud to Josh this morning. He enjoyed the beatitudes.
Post a response and let me know what you are reading.
peace,
will

I am trying to do a more thorough job reading and studying the Upper Room daily devotional. Sometimes I just skim through it and I am trying to spend more time with it this week. Maybe I will build good habits...
I have started reading the Upper Room again in response to my own sermon. Much to my suprise, when I picked it up the other day, I saw that a friend of mine had written Tuesday's devotion!
I recently received at card, "The Essential 100," with 100 Bible passages - 50 OT and 50 NT - to help give one a broad overview of the Bible. I just finished day 11- the story of Joseph being sold into slavery. I'm enjoying this; but on those "lazy" days when I don't get to it, I'm so glad that I have the Upper Room on-line. No matter how busy I am, I have alwlays have the time it takes each day (how much time do I waste on the internet, TV, etc.???) that I can easily log on and read the chosen scripture and devotional.
After praying what to read in addition to the Upper Room and Bible Study, I felt a nudge to read Ephesians, so that's what I'm doing and practicing journaling on what I read. Also, plan to give a Bible to a friend. Thanks for the homework and encouragement.
excellent! I am glad to see some folks getting into the assignment!
Where Have All the Leaders Gone? by Lee Iacocca
Just finished it. Though I cannot say that I agreed with everything he says, I respected the fact that he backs up his opinions about effective and uneffective leadership styles with examples, experience, and reason. I was either affirmed in my own belief or challenged to examine and support my differing opinions with reasons of my own.
He reminded me of my dad who always said, "I just want you to think." I often think that really translates into "I just want you to care."
This is not a religious book, but the need for good leadership is not limited to the political or corporate world--we need to revive it in homes and churches as well.
