Biblical Discipleship in 2012

I recommend people read the Gospel of Mark.  Read it between ten and 24 times without reading any other passages of the Bible.  Read the Gospel of Mark in one sitting, beginning to end.  (It's short -- don't turn it into "verses" but read it as the story it was written to be.)
Think about it.  Don't think about verses.  Think about the story, like you would think about a movie story, or a story like "Sarah's Key".  Think, then reflect, then wonder.

• What about this story "grabs" you?  
• What about this story "bothers" you?
• What about this story seems "contradictory" to you?

O.K.  You are thinking, wondering, pondering -- the whole story.  That's good.  More tomorrow.
