Bible Etc. August 20, 2014 I am committed daily to reading daily from the Old Testament; also from the New; a glance at Holy Women Holy Men of The Episcopal Church and always then something from the Qur’an; and a hadith. And, I am posting daily comments on Facebook. OT Reading the CEV (Contemporary English Version) in course. Psalm 110. A Psalm of praise to God for His wonderful deeds. Psalm 111.
