On my shelf sits a tattered spiral-bound composition book full of scribbled scripture references, notes, and quotes. I refer to that notebook every now and then when I need to be reminded of past lessons learned or wise words that God used to change me.Some of the simplest, best advice I've ever received is jotted in that book:
"It is time to read our Bibles. We need to read that rascal aggressively and systematically all the way through at least three times a year."
The author of this quote is a former Bible teacher of mine from college, one of those "heroes" I wrote about a year and a half ago. In his class, I learned amazing things about the second half of the Old Testament. I gained vivid mental images of judges and prophets. I discovered why "Bubba and Earl" needed the cities of refuge. I read genealogies with a newly necessitated eye for detail. But the most significant treasure that followed me out of class on the last day of that semester was a heightened respect and a growing hunger for the Bible.
A profound appreciation for the Scripture is vital to the new blog that I'm thrilled to share with you, authored by that same teacher.

Marissa,
Thank-you so much for the kind words and the commercial. Knowing that you are now being the godly example to young people that I tried to be to you all makes the years at PCC much more than worth it. I'll take words from John - "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." III John 4
Chris
