Well, this will be something new for me. Many of you have read my other blog, Pass the Kimchi, about my adventures and trials that come with being married to a Korean. With this blog, I really want to do something different. I was thinking today about religion, Mine specifically, and then others. I then realized that I have read more of the Koran than I had of the Bible. Shameful, really. I wondered to myself why this was. I have nothing against the Koran or Muslims. I respect them as I do any other religion. I find the Koran to be beautiful. So why have I never read all the way through the Bible? Can I really be a Christian if I have never studied my religious text in entirety? How dare I make absolute claims on anything spiritual. I came to realize that became I read the Koran as a piece of literature and thought of it as such, I was able to read through it without a second thought. The Bible on the other hand was only stories told to me in Sunday School and snippets read out of context in small groups. Therefore! This blog was thought into existence. I am dedicating myself to read 1 chapter of the Bible a day and then write my reflections and thoughts about it on here. Anyone who has thumbed through a Bible before knows that this will take me a very long time. But I am resolved and I hope my readers keep me accountable. I will begin, naturally, at the beginning. The VERY BEGINNING. Genesis 1.
