I admit it: I'm a Bible study junkie. Whenever I read the Bible, it is almost always for study purposes. Oh, every morning at work I read a short Bible passage and then the devotional in Our Daily Bread. Since I have only five days at work and ODB is a 365 days a year devotional by quarter years, that results in some interesting devotions. Right now I'm reading the Dec 2008 devotions, which of course are all about Christmas. In September!
For me, sitting down and reading the Bible just for pleasure, or just for devotion, or just to have something to meditate on is difficult. I always feel that I should be doing in-depth study of whatever I read in it. Somehow I need to add the pleasure-devotional reading to the study reading. Perhaps this will be my project for the next twelve months.

David, thanks for your sharing. We need more junkies! I'm not a there yet.
Thanks, Mimi!
Recently I read Ezra over three days, with no in-depth study. Simple Bible reading for pleasure, light edification, and uplift. Nehmiah comes next. Maybe there's hope for me.
