Where To Begin

Over the past couple of days I tried to determine where to start my scripture reading. So I first started in Psalms. I love the Psalms. Then I started some reading in Mark, just to get a feel for the NT again. Then today I read 2Cor. I guess that was probably a good one since Paul was dealing with so folks who had some real issues, much like myself.

In his closing remarks he expresses a wish or prayer "that you may become perfect". Or, as the NLT puts it, and I paraphrase, restored to maturity. Apparently that word for perfect or restoration is a word that means to reset bones that have been dislocated, or a joining again. I reckon that's appropriate for what I'm feeling, a bit disjointed - and where I'd like to be - rejoined.

Now I suppose for all of this to make sense to anyone who happens to come across this and wants to share in this journey, it might be good to know how it all "started" - or what happened to get me where I'm at. Oh my, that's going to take some doing. You might want to come back for that one. Heck, I might even want to come back for that one! :)
