My sister is in the choir at her Catholic church, and I bet she hasn’t opened a Bible in 20 years. My mother is a regular Mass attendee, was in the choir until she got too old, and probably hasn’t read the Bible in 20 years, either.

How do you know? Just because people carry the Bible around does not mean they read it. I have several Bibles, but I know most people have never seen me carry them around. I don’t have to. Jesus knows, and He’s the only person I care about impressing.

IMHO, there is nothing more sacred and joyous than lifting up our voices to God in praise, supplication and endless gratitude. Good for you sister.

There is TOO much in the Bible to SOMETIMES confuse me. So, I let those who LIFE'S WORK revolves around, among other things, sacred Scripture, explain meanings. They DO know the confusing, seemingly unfair and unclear meanings and are always ready, willing and able to explain.
