Reading the Bible?

So I haven't been reading the bible on a daily basis as I would like to be doing. This is mostly because I don't have a set schedule of reading like we had this summer. So I am here now to ask whether or not any of you guys have a daily reading schedule that you are currently reading through. And are you willing to share it with me/us? Or if you just have any suggestions that would be cool. Also, it would be wonderful to share with each other each day or even just each week what we have been seeing and learning as we read whatever we are reading. Just like we did this summer...except through the internet!

I just randomly read the first chapter in Galatians today and was struck by verse six:

"I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News" Galatians 1:6 (NLT)

This verse made me think about how quickly I have turned away, not from God, but from the Christ centered way we were living in Kenya.

I also wanted to apologize for not keeping in touch with you all lately. As you know it is hard to do but I have also been really lazy about it. Anyway, I miss and Love you all! Share your thoughts with me!

Church yesterday

So yesterday I gave a big presentation at church about our trip...showed a ton of pictures and played some of the songs that we played over and over this summer. I had thought that the youth retreat ruined "I'll Fly Away" for me forever. But strangly, playing that and "Blessed be Your Name" (Erin's choice EVERY time) was sort of healing. Sharing our stories, thoughts, and experiences for an extended period of time was great for me. The story of the Land Rover not starting gave everyone chills...as recounting it did me.
Bianca's aim profile reminded me of what Phil said: "No one can experience the same level of emotion that you did, and there is a portion of that experience that will never be communicable." Profound and true words...I found that I simply didn't posess the words to convey the trip's impact on me. Saying what we did and discussing events was easy...I was asked how the trip changed me, and I found myself at a loss for words. ( I know, rare occurance this summer) I was content to let that uncommunicable portion remain a part of me that wasn't shared.
I hadn't talked in detail about the trip in a while, and I found it to be refreshing. Discussing those memories and experiences filled up my heart. Two months after leaving and I can still smell the air, hear the kids, and taste the chai. Thanks, guys, for your friendship, for your exemplary faith, and for being in that uncommunicable portion of me.
