Lauren would come along with me as I was checking out different Catholic churches in the Tampa area. At the same time, it became clear that both of us had a desire to read the bible and discover all the things in it that we didn't know about. On August 23rd, I purchased a bible from the bookstore called "So That's Why Bible!" It included a CD which came in very handy to create a year long bible study assignment, broken down into 1 day increments. Over the next year Lauren and I will read every word of the bible. When I was in Florida, we would talk about it in person. Now that I am on a cruise ship, we email back and forth questions and comments on what we are reading. It is very rewarding, more than I could have ever imagined.
