I am a great believer in the subconscious: that our brains process things while we're not aware; which raises the question of how long to wait after reading the passages before trying to make a comment.
One real problem is familiarity - especially reading the early chapters of Matthew for possibly the fourth time in as many weeks. I don't think that I am paying proper attention to what I'm reading if I'm saying to myself wearily, "not again."

Yes, its so easy to feel over familiar with some parts of the Bible, isn't it? I need a reading scheme/notes that will help me look at it with fresh eyes. Haven't decided what to do just yet. I jotted a few thoughts on Genesis 1 down on my own blog, but feel they need developing a bit. Maybe mulling over a chapter a week can be a good thing sometimes? Having imbibed many thoughts from other people I could be suffering from spiritual indigestion and need time to digest things properly.
But then there are times when one feels stale and needs input from others - or maybe we don't really and shouldn't worry.
Well, you've set me off thinking, but I don't seem to have arrived at any conclusions.
