A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

The Epistles & My Tribulation
I'm still reading my Bible during my breaks from work and am now reading the Epistles of Paul to Timothy.I have noticed that the Apostle, Paul mentions in all so far, his hardships he faces in prison and such.
When I read my Bible, I prefer to sit alone in my car with no distractions of any kind. The longest time I have is only about 20 minute, not really time enough for the interior of the car to get warm So my own personal tribulation is "how much do I want to spend time alone with God?"
Enough to sit alone in my car, reading the word of God when the temperature is in the teens. My next book in The Good Good Book is Philemon. It won't be long until I'll be reading Revelation.
You know, it never cease to amaze me how many Bible scholars call it "Revelations" with an s. I'm just a redneck who at age 57 felt the call to read the Bible for the first time and am learning so much. At age 58 I am almost done with my first reading. God willing, it won't be my last.
Since staring my readings, I have become calmer, more at peace with myself, others and most importantly, with God.
Try it, you might just like it!
