Admittedly, I have never read the Bible. I have read passages from it and looked up verses but I have never read the entire thing. Honestly, I'm not sure that too many people have actually read the whole thing, but that's another story. I never felt like there would be much in there for me to connect to, personally. Now, when I say that I mean as me, Bob, specifically. Yes, there are many things that I relate to as a general human being with a spiritual life. But I was never sure that there would be something that specifically related to who I am that makes me a unique individual. And I need that kind of direct guidance sometimes. We all do.
Anyhow, the other day I received a thank you note in the mail from a dear friend who I had over for Easter dinner. She always writes such nice notes and it's a joy to hear from her. She ended the note with a Bible verse that I had not heard and it really grabbed me. I thought "that's about me" and it was a good feeling. And it made me think that maybe there are other passages that I may connect to that will make me feel like I'm having that one on one experience with God. I don't know but I believe it's a possibility.
Now, I'm not going to say that I will sit down and read the Good Book cover to cover. But, I do believe that I will open it up more and search for those connections. It can't hurt. And I don't know what else I may stumble upon that will speak to me like this verse did.
That is all.
