Imagine What?

So, this is just a short post to exhibit my nosiness...but I think something more as well.

I was walking on campus between classes and huge group of students came walking past me. Through the crowd I heard a girl talking loudly saying, "Imgaine that, a guy who reads the Bible every day would be..." and that's all I heard. I wanted to turn around and follow her and hear what she was saying. I wanted to stop her and ask her to repeat herself. I wanted to know, just what is a guy who read the Bible every day? What does she think? Is she in favor or against it?

Of course, then it led me to actually start thinking, what exactly is a guy who reads the Bible every day? Is he a Christian? Maybe. Is he Godly? Maybe. What had this guy done to this girl to make her talk about it? Had he been loving, hurtful?

Then it made me think even more...what would I be if I read the Bible every day? Would it matter? Would I be a better person, or would I just know more about the Bible? Is reading it really enough, or is there some change of heart that has to take place after every reading to make it 'count'? I have to confess, I don't read the Bible every day. I want to.

Or at least I say I want to. If I really wanted to I would be doing it already. I think I just like idea of wanting to and the way it sounds when I say it outloud to people who will esteem me higher when I say it. But I think if I really wanted to I would. I talk to Tommie every day. I want to. I know I want to because I do it.

I have a lot more to say about this topic, but right now I need to get to work and I don't have time to write. I want to though...or at least I think I do.
