The women’s Thursday morning bible study group is reading a book this summer and discussing it online.  I think it’s a pretty cool concept, and even though I am not a part of the Thursday morning bible study, they are letting me participate anyway.  The book is turning out to be fairly interesting.  We’re reading Eat This Book: A Conversation in Spiritual Reading by Eugene Peterson (who is the author of The Message bible translation).

I was thinking (hoping, really) that the book would be more instructional – as in how to read the bible in a more transformational way.  Instead he is exhorting us to do this, a prodding if you will, explaining why we should.  He has some really great points and ideas.  However, I’ve lost my book.

So I did a sensible thing and purchased an audio version of the book.  I thought..”wow, I can knit and read at the same time!  Who wouldn’t do this?”  So last night, I was listening to Chapter 5 while doing things like: putting away laundry, washing dishes and generally getting things gathered and organized for work today.

Result?  I can’t remember a thing I heard.  I can distinctly remember several times last night when I was excited about a point that he made and several times when I thought “I need to remember this..”, but alas, I can’t remember anything today.

So I guess I need to go an buy the book again.
