Lessons from the Mount

I met up with my former pastor, John Cook for coffee yesterday morning to chat about this book and this book and everything else in between.  We had a great chat and it was nice to be able to really delve into some things that I have been questioning and struggling with in regards to my spiritual journey.  

We also talked about the Sermon on the Mount and John reminded me of a challenge that my dad issued a few years ago to our church.  He asked everyone to read through Matthew 5, 6, and 7 three times every day for a month.  It seems like such a commitment-  three times a day?  So while we were talking about it I felt like I definitely should take this opportunity to accept the challenge- a few years later but better late than never? 

So over the next month I am going to share my thoughts and things that I have learned from the Sermon on the Mount. I am not sure if I am going to have anything monumental to share but I am committing to doing this and by posting about it on the blog I am making myself accountable! :)  If anyone wants to join me in this daily reading please feel free to! If you'd like to leave a comment with your email address I will be sure to send you a weekly reminder!
