A few nights ago I was driving and listening to a radio show host discuss how we are living in the "the last days." He proceeded to list things from the Book of Revelation that are currently happening. Ironically, my pastor just spoke last week about double checking your bible and not believing all that you hear. I don't say that I didn't believe what the DJ was saying, but I wanted to read for myself.
*Confession*
I must confess that I have never read Revelation before. To be perfectly honest, I have been fearful about reading it because all that I've heard in church while growing up was frightening. I don't see the bible as frightening so I could never understand why pastors and ministers would make the LAST book of the bible sound so horrific. Now that I'm older and much more mature, I am ready to take on the book of Revelation. Therefore, I have created a 22 day challenge.
I am challenging ALL of my readers to read all 22 chapters of Revelation with me before the new year. By the new year, I mean JANUARY 1ST! All you have to do is set aside 22 days...they don't have to be consecutive days, but 22 days to read 1 chapter per day. Everyday that you have set aside to read, journal your thoughts and feelings. More importantly before you begin to read each day pray for a clear mind and an open heart. Share what you have read with your friends/family.

I honestly thought I was the only person in the world who felt the same way as you! Growing up in the deep south (just like you), all we knew was that this book of the bible was for the brave to read :-) I look forward to this challenge!
