Been praying to Jesus every day at 2pm and 8pm for the past couple months. Not a Christian, really. But trying it out.
At minimum, what is pretty cool & horrible is everything bad I've ever done plays in my head a lot. Like I have to recognize what is bad about it before it goes away.
What is odd is I'm not exactly sure what form of Christianity I like. Never read The Bible. Think I'm sort of Catholic, but don't get the saints stuff.
Thanks you guys for helping me use you to work this out.

Shecky I am a proud Christian and you pointed out something profound. I too receive thoughts of all my wrongs. I think that’s beautiful that you called this to my attention. God is working on us both. I’m ex Catholic and was taught catechism and Bible history. I started growing when I started reading the Bible for myself. Ask God before each reading to teach you something. He never fails us. God loves you. Thank you for inspiring me. 
@KodiakIsland Please tell me where to start on The Bible. Honestly, starting from the beginning with all the "begats" is extremely hard to process.
It's like a friggin graph database I can't manage in my head.
Is there a good place to start for dummies?
@shecky2000
Proverbs is an amazing place to start. And Psalms if you feel so led.
Why? Because the Proverbs teaches wisdom to the simple, and knowledge of the holy.
And I'm a huge fan of Ecclesiastes, written by the same person as Proverbs. Here's a man who experienced it all, all of life, whatever it was, he did it. Period.
And his conclusion is simple, profound, and beautiful. And honest. Highly recommend. @KodiakIsland

Someone told me to read a little psalms and a little proverbs every day plus a little Old Testament and New Testament daily. I’m starting to implement that now.
@gloriaoils
Day 2 of implementing this reading schedule. Did it this morning and will be doing it again before bedtime. Listened while on treadmill to a lecture on Babylon by Chuck Missler. Learned so much today. @shecky2000
@KodiakIsland @gloriaoils @shecky2000
One thing I have done in the past is read a chapter of proverbs every day. Read the chapter that matches the date. Tomorrow is the 21st so read chapter 21. Do that for 6 months.
@Timtoolman
Yes. We did that for years when the kids were smaller. Literally. I'll still do it occasionally.
