Oct. 27, 2008 - Bible Time for Busy Mamas
If you are like me, it is hard to have a "quiet time", since the house is rarely quiet! So, I thought I'd share something that has been a real blessing to me lately: the Bible on CD!
We have had the children listening to these CDs for several years now at night while they are falling asleep, but I only started a few months ago, when I picked up an extra CD player at a garage sale. I used to think I wouldn't like to listen to anything at bedtime, but I have found it to be wonderful! Many times, I have a hard time controlling my thoughts after the lights are out. I dont think about anything bad, but I can't seem to shut my thoughts down to be able to fall asleep! Trying to focus on the Bible playing has helped me to keep my thoughts from wandering a million directions while falling asleep. And, as I usually keep the same CD in for a week or more, it has really helped me to "lock it in" my mind and heart, and I often contemplate during the day what I listen to at night. Sometimes if I'm up with the baby in the night and feel wakeful, I will push play then too.
I still try to read my Bible during the day, but getting it in at night provides a richer quantity of Bible time than I would be able to do only by my reading. I highly recommend it, for yourself and your children!

That sounds great. I need to check into that. I wonder if they have some on ebay or something. I would love to do that, but never thought to try. Thanks for sharing the idea.

Ooooh, I've been thinking about buying a set of these for all of us to listen to at night. I have a few Bible books on CD I got at the Dollar Store that I play in the boy's room some nights, but I'd like to expand that. You are spurring me on to good things, here.
