Greetings
Dear Reader,
I know that
this is an area where I did not develop good habits in my children. There were attempts but I failed. Each time I read the Word I feel a longing
for them to realize the richness that is there.
So many try
to marginalize the Bible but I see its validity. Faith comes easy for me but I find it even
richer when I spend time reading the words God chose to communicate himself to
me. Many have used the Bible as a weapon
to their own purposes. If we view the
Word through the lens of Christ’s admonition to love God and to love people it
is not a weapon but rather an excellent guide.
It is an
easy thing to reason oneself away from the validity of Scripture. Again the same thing is required in order to
grasp the truth and follow it. That
thing is the thing that people do not wish to need: Faith. So I spend more time in Bible reading and
pray that my family will do the same.
Wishing you
joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So
Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of
Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new
and old things from his great treasure store."

I am interested to read this series, Mike. I think as you're in the word more and your children (now adults) see how it's changing you, it will become more appealing to them. Just like anything - as people see the difference they may start to want it for themselves.
