I know it's not that big of a deal because that works out to only like 4 pages a day or something. As much as I love to read I've never been good at reading the scriptures, even though growing up my family read them everyday. I think it's because I really love reading for pleasure, so when I read I expect to be entertained and I think we all know that the scriptures aren't really about entertainment. Reading the Book of Mormon in such a (relatively) short time frame really helped me keep better track of what was going on and helped keep my attention better. I was rather impressed with us for reading consistently. The last night we didn't even have to read any extra to finish.
Reading the Book of Mormon together has definitely been good for us. We have a scripture goal for this year, too. So slowly we're working on getting better with the scripture thing. Hopefully by the time we're 60, it will be totally ingrained in our lives. Maybe by then I can get T to like tomatoes, too. Maybe sooner. For the scriptures and the tomatoes.
A fun side note: Reading the scriptures makes me yawn like crazy regardless of what time of day we are
reading! Like two yawns per column the whole time we read!
Another side note, this one isn't fun, it's just regular: For most of December I couldn't read aloud because talking = coughing. So to keep on schedule T would read one chapter aloud then we would read silently side by side.
