Thoughts on the Bible as a whole

Now that I have finished the whole Bible, people in my life are asking me what I thought of the experience as a whole.
I feel like I have a greater understanding of a lot of things as they relate to the Bible.
I better understand the connection between Judaism and Christianity.
I have a full context for Bible passages that are read in church, printed on bookmarks, and sewn on pillows.
I have a much deeper feeling about the Bible being the Word of God.
I feel a deeper connection with my ancestors.

Since my speed-reading days have ended, I have not picked up my Bible in 90 Days Bible, but I have certainly taken my new-found knowledge into action!

I will be taking a few weeks off from the intense-study, but I am planning on going back through and focusing on the sections where I made notes. I hope to chronicle some of my thoughts on this blog, so stop back every once in a while! :-)
