Animated Bible Reading......

Every Thursday we, as a team, have Bible Study and prayer. We are starting a study on Judges so our last Bible Study, Peter wanted us to ready through Judges together. However, when we read he wanted us to read with excitement, animation, and with different voices. At first I was thinking, "oh man, I stink at this kind of thing. Plus, is anyone really going to get into it?" Well, Peter started us off and he read with vigor, zeal, and passion. He made the story come alive. As we went around the room everyone used their announcers voice and got into the reading. When we came to Judges 5, where Deborah sings of her victory over Sisera, it was Matt's turn. He sang the whole thing! It was great! If you ever wanted to now what Deborah's song sounded like, it had a farmer joe with a banjo kinda melody. :) I loved it! It was so much fun and refreshing to read the Word of God in community with zest and liveliness. I would encourage you to try it! It may feel awkward and weird at first, but once you get past that, you feel like you are able to step into the story and partake in what is happening. :)
