There is no question that the bible can’t answer. – my maternal grandma

It’s 7: 29 PM on day 489 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, drink tea by myself, go to church – the sermon was titled Being right is not enough and was basically about how we shouldn’t exercise our freedoms and engage in things that give us pleasure if it means leading our fellow man astray– feed myself Batura and chicken curry for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, prepare and publish my Kid of the Week feature, feed myself pizza for lunch, hang out with my cousin’s kids, go visit some people and brush my teeth once more.

Today while at church I remembered the discussion I had with my grandma – my mother’s mother – about Christianity in which she asked me if I read the bible and I explained to her that I expressed my Christianity by helping others suffice to say she was disappointed and said something along the lines of your actions are admirable but you should read the bible there is no question the bible cannot answer so from today onwards in honour of my grandma I am going to read the bible– our church (the one that we go to here in South Africa) lists verses we should read every day of the week at the back of their notices I’ll read those first. Are you under the misconception that being Christian consists solely of going to church, reading the bible and praying?
