Today is the 12th day of July.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I am Brian and it is wonderful to be here with you as we pass through the center of another

one of our weeks together.

Hump Day?

I guess Hump Day, are we in the dog days of summer?

I don't have heard that term all my life.

I don't even know what that means.

I think it means when it's so hot at the dogs just lay around.

And I guess we're getting there.

But either way, we take the next step forward and we get to experience all of the different

seasons, the seasons on the earth, the seasons of life.

And we get to do it together in community as we gather and keep taking our steps forward

in this relationship that we have with the scriptures.

And so that's what we've gathered around the global campfire for.

Let's dive in.

We'll be returning to where we left off, which is the custom.

That leads us back into the book of 1st Chronicles.

And today we will read chapter 12, verse 19 through 14, verse 17.
