How often are you able to read the bible?

Steinway @Steinway (307) • United States 3 May 10

I do good to read the bible about once a week. And, sometimes, as bad as I hate to say it is in church. It seems with life that reading the Bible on a daily basis is, for me, a task which I cannot do. I probably need to, but...

dralon Try to do it this way - set a specific time of the day and allocate about five minutes (to start with) of reading the bible. Times like first thing in the morning, first thing when i get to the office or last thing before going to bed are good because its...
