We attend a church that teaches through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book. Wednesday nights are when we study each verse, while weekend services highlight a particular verse or passage from the upcoming Wednesday for a more topical study.
The teaching on the first Sunday we attended was from Ecclesiastes 10. Fourteen years, three months, three weeks, and four days later, which was this last Sunday, the teaching was from Ecclesiastes 10 again. That means our family has just completed our first trip through the Bible with our church, which I think is a neat milestone.
Several years ago I wrote about how people will often describe how long they've been at our church by which book of the Bible the congregation was in at the time and showed a picture of how long we'd been attending by how many pages of my Bible we'd gone through. Now we've joined the ranks of people who have to add "the first time through ..." to whatever book of the Bible the church was in when they started attending. Time flies!
