Top Ten list of signs you may not be reading your Bible enough

Someone has composed the following "Top Ten" list of signs you may not be
reading your Bible enough:

10) The Preacher announces the sermon is from Galatians..... and you check
the table of contents.
9) You think Abraham, Isaac & Jacob may have had a few hit songs during
the 60's.
8) You open to the Gospel of Luke and a WWII savings bond falls out.
7) Your favorite Old Testament patriarch is Hercules.
6) Your favorite Bible verse is "Cleanliness is next to godliness."
5) You become frustrated because Charlton Heston isn't listed in either
the concordance or the table of contents.
4) You catch the kids reading the Song of Solomon, and demand: "Who
gave you this stuff?"
3) You think the Minor Prophets worked in the quarries.
2) You keep falling for it every time when the preacher tells you to
turn to First Condominiums.

And the number one sign you may not be reading your Bible enough:

1) The kids keep asking too many questions about your usual bedtime
story: "Jonah the Shepherd Boy and His Ark of Many Colors."

It's hard to over-estimate the importance of reading and studying the
Bible. God's Word is our source of spiritual nourishment, our light in the
midst of a dark world, our mirror to see what needs to be corrected in our
lives. And yet, it is so easy to let other things get in the way and
interrupt time we have wanted to dedicate to Bible reading.

"Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day." (Psa.
119:97)
