Last weekend, something remarkable happened. Something I have never seen done before. Something I never thought would happen....

My dad read the bible.

My dad had come home from work for the weekend (he works 9 hours away.) He said someone at work had been reciting scripture to everyone about everything. He found his old bible, that he has never really used, and started reading things and having us guess what book it was in. Then he came to Ecclesiastes. He insisted that we read the whole book. He and my mother took turns reading, he mostly. HE said he got a lot out of it. He explained, then sent us to bed.


In the morning, for the first time, he took his bible to work with him.
My mom had called him one night and asked what he had been doing.... "Reading Proverbs " was his reply.

I hope he catches on to this and maybe learns something to teach us, instead of us teaching him.
I'm PROUD!
