Meditate the Bible
MEDITATE THE BIBLE. After reading it 7 times complete (dedicated cover-to-cover readings), time to meditate it. I'll figure out how that goes as I go along. I've done it with the Psalms some, on walks, reading verses on my phone. I actually think it will just be a matter of pausing and pondering verses, passages, whole chapters, books. Meditating upon Scripture at different scale. Envisioning people, pondering places, focusing on things, recreating events, contemplating ideas. There's definitely room also for deeper vision, which is hard for anyone to describe.

I'm used to these 1,189 chapter treks, though it's been awhile since the last one, and the internet.....and what screen time bad habits do to power of attention has downgraded everything one needs to read a long book. So... I've probably earned the right to skip around, but why not go straight through.
Instead of straight through I think I'll do major portions of Scripture. Genesis 1-11. A group of psalms. Major parts of the Gospels. Various epistles whole. Back to largish portions of historical narrative. Otherwise I won't see a New Testament writing until next December. I'm meditating the Bible. Super slow progress.
OK, just thought of something. I will meditate the Bible straight through, cover to cover, but as I go along, when I feel like reading deeply a psalm or New Testament book I'll just go do that, but it won't be part of this project. Just moon lighting. I believe in the full, straight-through trek.
