answering recent questions
*How is the reading working out?*Are there books you are dreading reading?
*Which are you especially looking forward to reading?
These are the most recent questions I've found that i need to answer, and I've lost track of where I need to be.
I'm okay on Genesis and Exodus, but Leviticus KILLS me. I have never made it through, I don't get it, and I NEED HELP with this one. I've been focusing on Genesis and Exodus because they can hold my focus more.
I'm looking forward to getting on through to psalms and proverbs. I struggle mightily with this Old Testament, and I am so intimidated by it.
I'm way behind in the reading, but I've been sort of waiting to see what people had to say about Leviticus before I dive in, hoping that by what others said, it would shed some light on it, and help me read it differently.

Susie I dont think you are behind. It's only day 8 or 6 tomorrow - depending if you started on Jan 6th (Friday) or the Sunday.
I started on Jan 6th and am scheduled to read Leviticus 1 - 14
Then I'll try to take the rest on Saturday, though the programme says to Lev 25:47 (which would leave 2 chapter s to Sunday)
I think the way the chapters works out is a bit weird and that's why - if I can I'll take half tomorrow and the rest Saturday.
Dreading it though, because like you I don't "get it"
Hi Susie,
I am just starting the Bible in 90 days... but I have read Leviticus before and it IS a slog. But what I found is that I could just let the language wash over me... let the rhythm of it become what I pay attention to, rather than the words themselves. When I was able to do that, it was much more fun to read. I think of it as an interesting, long, instruction manual in poetic form.
Hang in there!
