Confessions...

Well... they say confession is good for the soul. One of my aspirations for this year was to read through the Bible in a year; this goal has gotten seriously derailed... If I can be honest, sometimes all the detail about the tabernacle and the sacrifices just is not that gripping to me! I feel like a terrible Christian for saying so, but it just doesn't move me. So if any of you pals who read this have read through the Bible in a year and have any words of wisdom or encouragement... I am open for a spiritual kick in the pants. :-) I've gotten into Leviticus now, I FINALLY made it out of Exodus, but I hardly read all week. When I try I just fall asleep. I reread the same few verses over and over trying to get the flow and just find the words swimming in front of me! HELP!

Hi Brian,
I know what you mean about getting derailed. Shirley has kept it going better than I have. We just finished a four week study on the Levitical offerings which was great. Grandpa did a great two hour sermon on it. You will find it on our website. On the Tabernacle, I would recommend a great book by Stephen Olford, called 'The Tabernacle' where he discusses the types found in the furniture, coverings etc. I think if you can go through those first, you will go back to the Bible text with a new appreciation.

Good luck!
