We only have three sheets left. I mean, not even three complete sheets. Guys, you are so far. Well done. We're reading Jeremiah 22, Daniel chapter 3, and Proverbs chapter 15 versus 29 through 33. Yesterday was kind of a longer reading. So the next two days, we have a little bit shorter reading. So as I said, Jeremiah 22, Daniel 3, Proverbs 15, 29 through 33. As always, the Bible translation I am reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic nation. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. |
