Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is very. I got so excited. Why? Because it's day 334. We're on the last page.

I know I've been building this up

for the last three days or however long it's been. But you guys, it's kind of significant. And

anyways, that's it. That's all I'm saying. It's significant. Well done. Congratulations.

Day 334, reading Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 13, reading St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapters 7 and 8, as well as the book of Proverbs, chapter 28, verses 4 through 6. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, and if you did, you know know that on the last sheet, that's all I'm saying.
