Something to watch out for

Well, it sure has been a long time. Lent has ended. Triduum has come to an end, and we are now into Easter!

I have a number of books that I am in the middle of. Currently I'm reading:
A Mother's Plea by Fr. Anthony Bus and The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
I've got Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI, and Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. both by G.K Chesterton lined up in my reading queue. I really do enjoy a good book, and yesterday, I discovered that digging into these books is starting to keep me from reading THE Good Book. I took a step back and I had to say to myself "Wait a minute, although these books are great, and I really like reading them, I'm really not spending any time digging into Sacred Scripture!"
I am a father of 4, I will have a 5th child later this year. Finding time for the books I'm reading is already pressing, but this is actually dangerous. I have decided that I will have to cut time out of my reading to actually read the Bible.
We all have to be careful to ensure that we spend our time wisely. Whether you spend it reading everything but the Bible, or volunteer for a bunch of Church activities, if it is preventing you from reading the Bible, or prayer, or going to mass, then something has to change.
Tonight I'll be inserting some reading of the Bible into my routine.
