I didn't think this was going to be my next Daily Devotional Reading book, but I picked it up and started glancing through it, and before I knew it I got pulled in. Hopefully I can renew the books I got from the library (and was expecting to read next) another time or two, because we're off, you know.
200 pages.
Day 1 (DDRD 2,745) May 6, 2025
Read to page 56.
"This world is a bridge. Pass over it, but do not build your dwelling there." Fatehpur Sikiri (26-27)
which I picked up awhile back from You-Know-Where. It's a far cry from the scholarly books I've been reading...which should be fun.
Day 2 (DDRD 2,746) May 7, 2025
Read to page 87.
"If you do not fast from the world, you will not find the kingdom." (65)
⇧ In my defense, there were several footnotes referring to this book.
Meanwhile, here's an interesting bit on androgyny courtesy the Gospel of Philip: "When Eve was still in Adam, death did not exist. When she was separated from him, death came into being. If he again becomes complete and attains his former self, death will be no more." (II 68, 22-26)
Day 3 (DDRD 2,747) May 8, 2025
Read to page 117.
Stumbled upon some interesting stuff, such as the lecture "Is it one story from four or four stories from one?" by a professor from Middlebury College. You can view it here:

if you're so inclined.
Day 4 (DDRD 2,748) May 10*, 2025
Read to page 148.
* Seems I've screwed up my figures at some point, but I know that (1) I haven't missed any days and that (2) today is the 10th, and I've just finished reading page 148. That's good enough for me.
Day 5 (DDRD 2,749) May 11, 2025
Read to page 199, The End. Sorry to say it, but I don't think this one was worth doing. There were some interesting moments, but overall it was repetitious and didn't go nearly far enough for me.
Next!
