I finally got the Bible read, start to finish, with the help of the daily reminders from the Our Daily Bread app. The prophets were tough, although I liked Ezekiel and Malachi. Leviticus and Deuteronomy just about drove me crazy with all the rules of offerings/sacrifices repeated over and over and...
