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!
