The sad part of it all is that in my heart of pride, I think, "I think I know enough about that part of the Bible because I've read that before." What baloney! I truly must repent in dust and ashes. Thank God for lavished grace, or I would be a wreck. Tim, it’s humbling.

I had heard that GCM wouldn't preach a passage unless he had read it 50 times. Yow! I have benefitted from this practice of repeated, all-the-way-through readings in the past and need to start this again. There is much to glean, especially when you consider that many books can be read through in less than an hour and probably all but Psalms and maybe a couple of others could be finished in less than two. Thanks for this encouragement! Sam, thanks for the great suggestion/reminder via you and JT and JIP!
