my teeth are better than the gospel

Happy new years everyone, i know i'm late but lets face it, you say happy new years anytime in january it still counts.

I just took some cold medicine so hopefully I can get my thoughts down without having too much of an alice in wonderland effect.

Okay so we all make new years resolutions, and i realized my "read the bible" was on top of my list, also finish wayne grudem systematic theology (which i have and plan to finish)

I realize, obviously, if i stay diligent, read a couple chapters a day, everyday and persevere then it should be easy, and by the end of the year i will be done. It's really not that hard, a couple chapters of the bible a day takes like 15 minutes to read.

This has been the top new years resolution for me ever since i got out of elementary school.

So why haven't i done it yet?

I'm not sure why.

But this is something interesting i realized while brushing my teeth. Every year everyone one who lives in southern california will brush their every morning and night without fail. Maybe one or two nights of the year people will forget (college students finals week). But the point is, we do it. We value our teeth so much that we are habitually bound to taking care of them every morning and night.

So why can't we treat our spiritual lives the same? Where is the urgency? the importance?

I want that urgency in my life. I want to not sleep unless i read my bible and pray because i want to avoid soul cavities. I think at this point all my spiritual teeth have rotted and i NEED some Jesus dentures.

thanks yall
