I guess I should clarify that the small group I meet with actually only meets every other week, so that's really half a chapter per week. I think if you set aside the time to read more and make it your mission, it will happen. There's always more we CAN do.

My favorite is "for we are the fragrance of Christ, a sweet smelling aroma to those who are being saved and to those who are perishing." (2 Corin. 2:15) It's not used as often and provides better imagery for me. :)

The phrase I hear most frequently is "you've got plenty of time, honey." By saying that, it's as if people think that I actually don't have plenty of time, but they want to reassure me of that which they are so concerned about.

One time someone asked me when we were doing my wedding. At the time, I was not even dating anyone? What a thoughtless thing to say. I simply replied, "when I find someone worth marrying," and walked away.
