Part of it is sad ,in my case ,my problem was chopping up my reading so much! This why I want to begin looking at Scripture in much larger units. As I type now I am listening to Geneisis(Bible Boook not the band),I want to start hearing the word as I go about what I am doing, along with daily reading. I think for me this will help me see the Holy-Writ in more cohesive units.
