As I started the journey, I am already one day behind. :) Some thoughts on 1st day's reading: - The book of Genesis is the foundation of the whole bible: it described the relationship between God and his creation, God and humans, humans themselves. - 5 women mentioned in Jesus's genealogy are amzaing, especially 3 of them were considered bad :) - Paslms is the only book in all 66 books in which we speak to God. In all other books, God speaks to us. - Proverbs will give me wisdom, dicipline, righteousness, and purpose of my life. Never thought about the rest except wisdom. Great first day reading!
****** - Quite disappointing reading the fall of man on the second day! - Really amazed by Joseph's obedience and challenged. - The annointed one will save us after all - The fear of the God is the beginning of knowledge.
To: 提摩太 Thanks for sharing. 15minutes? That is for a glance only! How can we get better understanding and remember what we read? But you are right. It’s hard to keep reading if we spend too much time on it everyday. I will give a try:).

Glad to see I have fellow followers.
1. Enoch is mentioned to walk with God and God took him away. You can imagine he was obedient.
2. God blessed seventh day and made it holy. Holy means to make that day belong to God.
3. Tarmah tricked her father-in-law Judah to sleep with her and gave birth to twins (of course Judah confessed Tarmah was more righteous), Rahab was a prostitute, and Bathsheba worked with King David to get her husband killed. "bad" was inapproapriate, "blameful" maybe better.
4. The holy Bible is not one single book. It is a collection of 66 books over 1500 years span. there are 39 books in old testament and 27 books in new testament. Easier to remember if you think about 3-9-27. psalms is a book of peoms, written mostly by King David. Most of the psalms can be used as personal prayers.
5. Always remember there are two factors in the relationship between God and humans: God's creation and human's free will. God is holy, He will never design murder.
=========================================================
It would be impossible to read through bible in one year if you spend too much time. Probably you will give up after a few weeks. Genesis is not too bad, once you start Leviticus, you will be lost. :) 15min to half an hour is good.

一月二日：
Genesis 3 The Fall of ManGenesis 4 Cain and Abel
-這是一段非常熟悉的故事。隻是有點疑問。既然神是造物主，神通曉並設計一切。那麽伊甸園所發生的一切以及Cain殺Abel應該都是神預先安排的。曆史在成為曆史之前就應該是神的設計藍圖。
Matthew 2/Matthew 3 - Done not long ago.
Psalm 2
11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
- 對神心存敬畏，以神的話為行為規範，時時事事都要在神的注視下，是不是給基督徒造成一種不自由的約束感？這樣會不會影響個人潛能的發揮？因為總覺得有隻眼睛看著你。。。:)
Proverbs 1:7-9
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools [a] despise wisdom and discipline.
-這個大概能部分回答我上麵的問題:)

對我來說，進度有點快。這些功課全麵出擊，而我麵臨的是一個完全陌生的領域。。。不知哪對哪:)

一月一日：
Genesis 2
2：And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy
Q：怎樣理解“made it holy”。
Matthew 1
Q：你說：- 5 women mentioned in Jesus's genealogy are amzaing, especially 3 of them were considered bad :)。我隻發現其中一個“David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife”
Matthew 1/Matthew 2：前些日子讀過了。
Psalm 1
Q：這是“聖詩”嗎？我從沒接觸過？我查了一下是舊約裏的“詩篇”吧？Psalm是一本怎樣的書，主要講什麽？
Q：你說- Paslms is the only book in all 66 books in which we speak to God. In all other books, God speaks to us. - 這裏66本指哪些書？
BOOK I : Psalms 1-41
--我覺得讀Psalm有點難度，不大好懂。
Proverbs 1：- 很精辟！

讀了今天的作業，隨想幾點：
1。不知以諾怎樣與神同行？
2。感慨諾亞的年代與當今的時代有相似之處！
3。really like one sentence in the comment: What we do matters to God!
4. like this comment too:
It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” This is such a powerful spiritual truth that Jesus is conveying - we will not live full and true lives if we live simply on bread alone. ---YES, GOD'S WORD IS MY DAILY BREAD.
5。喜歡詩篇3中：
But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
