Week 4. Walking through Egypt...

OK, we finished have Genesis and have moved into Exodus.   (One chapter down and 11 months to go!  We can do this!)   I think my favorite story in the Bible is the story of Joseph.  I love how it reveals the sovereignty of God.  What looked like so many unfair situations in Joseph’s life were used by God to preserve Joseph’s family.   Even today, we rarely recognize God’s hand in our lives until we look back and see how all the pieces fit together.    

Week 3 The Listener's Bible App...

Week 3.   I am behind on writing because we are traveling.  But with my Bible phone “APP”, I can still keep up with my reading and listening, anywhere I am.  Cool! 

Several friends have asked me how this works, so the best way to show you is with photos:

1.        Download the free Bible App.  I use an android phone, so my icon looks like this (it's the little brown "Holy Bible" icon): 

2.   Select the version you prefer.  I usually read the NIV.  

3.  Choose a version with the speaker icon to indicate that it features the “Listener’s Bible”. 

4.       Click on the speaker icon to turn on the “Listener’s Bible”. 

5.       Click on the triangle to play. 

6.        You can read along on your phone as you listen.  I like to listen as I walk with earphones. 

I love the reader’s voice on the NIV version.  He reads with such feeling, it makes it really interesting.  

Week 2. We're walking...

I am pleasantly surprised at how eager I feel every morning when I wake up and my first thought is "grab coffee and Bible."  Listening to the "NIV The Listener's Bible" on my phone app has made this so interesting.  Lots of the stories I remember from childhood in Sunday School are coming back, but wow, there are lots of little things they never told the children in Sunday School!  But it makes it seem very believable, because we are still up to the same tricks today.  And I loved the beautiful story of how Abraham sent his senior servant out to find a suitable wife for Isaac in Genesis 24.
I am so happy to hear from friends who are reading with me now.  And my husband is also reading with me.  It is encouraging to go on this journey together.  I know of at least 20 friends who have decided to read "The Daily Walk Bible" this year.  So, we continue!
And we're walking...Audrey

Week One, In the beginning...

Week 1 has gotten off to a good start.  The first day, on an impulse, I turned on my Bible App on my phone and LISTENED to the chapters for the day.  WOW, it really made it more interesting.  I have continued this each day and find that it helps me to pay attention as I follow along and it especially helped during the reading of the unusual names in the "Table of Nations" section in Chapter 10.  So, I plan to continue to LISTEN to "The Listeners Bible"each day as I read.
So far, so good.
