Be A Berean!
I have been reading Revelation (again) but we listen to our online bible daily and my DH likes to fall asleep to it.... it's the KVJ of the old and new testaments narrated by Stephen Johnston

RevelationWhat Book of the Bible Are You In Now and What Are You Getting Out of It?
This was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time. ThanksIt's a fantastic section of scripture but doesn't necessarily adapt well to contemporary dialogue in young relationships. When I was dating my wife I thought it would be a fun idea to throw some SoS quotes at her...ya' know, for romance's sake (chaste romance to be clear).
My initial intentions were very serious and intended to score me some bonus points on the Romeo scale. In actuality it ended being something that fell apart faster than a battle plan upon first engagement, something that ended in laughter, lots of blushing and that to this day still gets us laughing. For example;
"Hon, as I gaze at you, I see your beauty...your neck is like a tower of uhhhh... yeah, something tower-ish, um tall and thin, not concrete or brick, it ain't leaning, but nice...and your hair reminds me of goats on the mountains, a whole flock of them springing down, not out of control like a stampede or anything but black, yeah, black goats, clean and everything not filthy dirty and smelling all goat-nasty like the ones the neighbor has...and your cheeks are like palmagranisomethings, but the good part not that nasty bitter crunchy outside but the sweet gobs of the red sticky seed pods from the inside that stain your fingers and are soooooooooo fristrating to get at...oh and there's something about shiny shields and the way you look but that comparison kinda-sorta escapes me right now but it was good, oh and I'll leave the whole fountain thing alone right now....ummmm, oops shouldn't have brought that up... Well anyway you're pretty, really pretty and I like looking at you...
...why are you looking at me that way?"
Okay, I did exaggerate a bit but in reality it wasn't too far from that.
Every time I read the Bible I also discover something new that I hadn’t noticed before.I’m reading through the New Testament, starting with Matthew and will just continue reading through Revelation. Currently I’m in Luke, and this may seem like a silly thing to get out of the Bible, but when I read through Matthew, it struck me that Jesus had Paul catch a fish, and that fish had the money in its mouth to pay for their temple taxes lol. I don’t know why, but I had never heard of this before!!
