Outside the Lectionary – v3

So many years, studying the Bible

the words of scripture -

what meaning they hold;

Reading in measured

prescribed passages

following the Lectionary – Years A, B, C

Starting at the beginning

Genesis, the foundation,

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, the patriarchs;

Heading to the end,

to the Revelations.

Outside the Lectionary

reading completely

the detailed stories;

The Laws, the Precepts,

the complete living

Word of God in my hands
