Jesus Is Just Alright With Me!

[grangergal]

Quite a few times in the past I've set an unrealistic goal for myself in the coming new year to read the Bible. Well, this year I'm trying to set a more realistic goal. I want to read the New Testament this year. Perhaps next year I'll tackle the old testament

my, my, my...the idea of Jamie Fraser and God at the same time reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Outlander:

"Not as dead as you look, I hope?" said the voice, coming nearer. I arched upward with an inarticulate sound as exquisitely sensitive tissues were firmly parted in a fresh assault.

"Jesus Christ," I said. There was a faint chuckle near my ear.

"I only said I felt like God, Sassenach," he murmured. "I never said I was."
Chapter 17: We Meet a Beggar

Ok, I know that's a reach but dang, I love me some Jamie Fraser...wha...huh...oh yeah I was gone there for a second. What I was wondering was, what type of Bible are you considering? King James (probably), Women's, Student, Study? I might be tempted to go along on this adventure...I've never read the whole Bible myself. Believe it or not, my Dad has.

I'm impressed. I can't believe you remembered that line from Outlander. How long did it take you to look it up? LOL. Just the fact that you knew about where to look for it is extremely impressive.

I have the New Living Translation which I just adore. I've only had it for a few months, but from what I've read it's like reading a novel. And we all know that's right up my alley.

I'm also planning on reading (probably after Voyager) a non-fic book called The Good Book by Peter Gomes. It shows how the bible is often used as a tool for division and exclusion and how to look at the Bible in a different way. Also right up my alley.

So, here is the first week's worth of reading if you decide to join (and please don't feel that you have to):
Jan 1: John 1:1-34
Jan 2: John 1:35-51
Jan 3: John 2
Jan 4: John 3
Jan 5: John 4:1-42
Jan 6/7: John 4:43-5:16

...that little vignette is from one of my favorite scenes in the book. They've just gotten married and he's paying attention to certain, how should I say, "areas" that all too often go under appreciated...It mostly cemented my deep and abiding love of Jamie Fraser.

Ok, off that subject because I cannot mix those thoughts with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The gospel according to Jamie is good but I can't focus on both. LOL ;p

Love!
