Outside the Lectionary – v2

So many years, studying the bible
the words of scripture
what meaning they hold
Reading in measured
prescribed passages
following the lectionary - A, B, C

Starting at the beginning
Genesis
to read the whole bible
One month in,
what mysteries remain
as I read day by day

Reading serially
ordered differently
starting at the beginning
Genesis
heading to the end
the Revelations

Outside the lectionary
reading completely
the detailed stories
The laws, precepts;
the complete
Word of God
