Last week I had an eureka moment during QT. I hit upon a particularly awesome passage of the Bible. So as I lay there thinking how great this was, I had an overwhelming desire to share this with someone. But since it was 3 am, I felt like I couldn't just call someone, and even if it wasn't 3 am, I didn't know who I would call. I got to thinking about this, and my ADHD mind started thinking about the movie Julie and Julia. I have no idea why I thought about that movie, but it got me thinking about blogs. And that's when it hit me. The big eureka moment. Why don't I start a blog about the thoughts that go through my head during my devotionals?
Which leads me to the purposes of this blog. I see this as a way for me to share with the Body what I've been reading/learning through QTs and hear from others what they think about the passage. This idea is also influenced by all the talk I hear from others about how it's so hard to do QTs over the summer. It's also influenced by the talk I hear about the Bible being difficult to read sometimes. This is just one solution to those problems. If we all go through the same passages, we're more likely to keep up with it, understand it better, etc. etc. Of course this takes both effort from me and from anyone who wishes to participate. I envision this to be an interactive process where we can bounce ideas off each other in search for a greater meaning in our QTs than just the surface.
At this point I don't know which book of the Bible I want to go through. I'm not so sure people are as adamant about going through the part of the Bible I'm currently in for QTs. And if you want to know which passage spurred on this eureka, it's Job 9:32-35. It has crazy parallels to Hebrews 4:14-16.
BTW, I'm not starting until after REC WEEK. See you then.
