Today's Blessing: Scriptures and Popcorn
Scott and I are on Day 28 of our "40 Days and 40 Nights" Scripture Reading Challenge. So far we have done excellent and haven't missed a day! (knock on wood). Already we are to Helaman 10 in the Book of Mormon, and we love it!
I think I've mentioned we get up at 4:30 am each day (except Sundays, then we get up at 5:30 am) and read between 30-40 minutes. Then each night we get back together and read for another 30-40 minutes. I totally love reading with Scott! We bounce concepts off each other and it helps me think of things I've never thought of before. When I emailed Jessica and told her what we were doing, she exclaimed, "You're having companion study time!" She made me laugh. But I guess she's right! :) And so far I've taken a picture for each day of something that reminds me of what we read...except I'm still missing one day...I'm having a hard time finding something for those war chapters :(.
Anyway, I'm sure you can imagine how tired we are when 9:00 pm (or later) rolls around. I've caught myself dozing several times while we read...not good! But!...I have found a bowl of popcorn really helps keep me awake! And it tastes good too! And it's low fat!
I had a New Beginnings tonight so we ended up reading a little later than we prefer, so I just popped up some popcorn when I got home and we nibbled away while reading about prophesies of Christ's coming, corrupt judges, and murder. Hmm...it was almost as good as watching a movie! ;)

I can't eat microwave popcorn. It has butter in it.
