Let them fall open where they will.

Kayla wouldn't let me buy her book the other day. She said she would much rather have a debit card for her Kindle Fire so she could download her book instead. I think the romance of a book will be lost on this generation. At least she likes to read. This Kindle thing is amazing only I fear she is so attached to it that when it goes down, like every good computer will eventually, she will also meltdown.

This clip of wood box wisdom reminds me of how I read the Bible. I just open it and see what it wants me to know today. I wonder if I do this because my dad showed me. I do remember him buying paper backs at the beach in the summer. At the racks he would open one up stare at it for a few seconds and then put it back he would do this several times and eventually pick one. Once I asked what he was doing and he said he randomly opens a book and reads two pages and he then knows if it a story worth reading or a waste of time. When he would pick one he would read it voraciously. He usually would read it in one sitting or at least in one weekend.

As an experiment I am going to go to my Bible and see what It has for me today and I will share it with you.

I opened in Psalms...I love the , O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer...The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever...The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid...God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change...Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me...O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His steadfast love endures for ever...Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved......

Then I flip to the New Testament...Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied...Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God...Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God...Blessed are you (Matthew)...

Great experiment! I should do this more often. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
