dralon You are right, but its not even about being in different countries. My siblings and I are all in one country but we see less and less of each other, thanks to chain letters on email, texts etc. Its amazing how paying a visit to each other is not so important...

chiyochan @chiyosan (30181) • Philippines 17 Sep 10

How often are you able to read the bible?

Steinway @Steinway (307) • United States 3 May 10

I do good to read the bible about once a week. And, sometimes, as bad as I hate to say it is in church. It seems with life that reading the Bible on a daily basis is, for me, a task which I cannot do. I probably need to, but...

dralon Try to do it this way - set a specific time of the day and allocate about five minutes (to start with) of reading the bible. Times like first thing in the morning, first thing when i get to the office or last thing before going to bed are good because its...

dralon The Bible also says "vengeance is mine, says the Lord". I know that as humans our first reaction is to get even when we are treated badly, but our God is there to fight our battle for us. He even says we are to ppray for our enemies (good prayers). Do not...
