I started posting 21 Day challenge posts on my Facebook Page for this book.  Someone asked me why I chose 21 days and wasn’t that a bit long to focus on just one verse?

I suppose for some people it is a long time to focus on one verse, for other people it isn’t.  So back to why I chose 21 days – seven days for God, seven days for Jesus and seven day for the Holy Spirit – 21 days for the Trinity to challenge us with the Living Word.  Twenty days to learn about then and now and think about the future.  Twenty days to turn your thinking and life around.

To me, every verse in the Bible is full of meaning for us.  Reading a verse – thinking about it for a minute or two out of a lifetime is like grabbing a meal at a fast food restaurant – there’s just not much to remember about it.  Pull up, place an order, pay, throw it in the car and drive off, pull the food out but focus on the road ahead.  You don’t even really taste the food, do you?  You are more focused on getting somewhere than you are on filling the hunger inside of you that you know will return.

Most people don’t think or feel they have to spend 30 – 60 minutes in bible study every day – so if you can break that down into pieces of time they can digest that’s good and we all know that repetition helps us to not only remember but that it actually helps to bring change into our lives.

So the posts are up there on Facebook and I’m going to be putting them on paper – and then, perhaps publishing them – either in my blog or in printed form.

I was also busy writing and publishing another book,   A Stable Birth: A Story about the Birth of Jesus Christ.    My nine year old grandson read one of the Chapters today and said, “Cool!”  I asked him what his favorite part was and he said it was when Mary talked about her cousin Elizabeth and John.  ‘Really?”  I asked him.  “Yes, Grandma, really.  I thought it was cool because I didn’t know that Jesus and John were related.  I think it’s cool that they were cousins.  I didn’t now Jesus had cousins.”   I wonder he’ll say when he learns that Jesus had brothers . . .   I remember learning that Jesus had siblings and thinking – “Good, then he knows what it’s like to be a kid.”

Anyway – hope you all have been well and I’ll try to post more frequently . . .
