I can't say enough good things about YouVersion.com. I was thinking over the weekend that if my computer only had this one function - to access YouVersion; keep track of my reading plan; and keep me motivated and excited to read through the Bible in 3 months - it would be worth the cost of the computer! And more. I have prayed for years to get the motivation and discipline to read the Bible consistently. I have tried lots of different plans and devotional books. But, this time, I can see God's hand in it. I am excited and hungry for his word! I anticipate the next day's reading; I delight in reading familiar "flannelgraph" passages in context.
Today's flannelgraph story was about Balaam and the donkey. I had forgotten what Balaam was begin asked to do; and that God was speaking directly to Balaam until finally God used the donkey to send the message. It was a totally different read in context of the physical and spiritual journey of the Israelites. But, I still saw the donkey as a flannelgraph guy, bouncing across a light blue board! I have sweet Bible Class memories from childhood.
