Reading Out Loud In Public

I am doing something different this week. Something I have never done before. I am participating in a marathon Bible reading. I saw it mentioned in the church bulletin a few weeks ago. A Christian group is looking for people to assist in a nonstop reading of the Bible. The reading is to take place this week from Tuesday through Saturday. I thought about this for a couple of weeks. Yes, I wanted to help. Yes, I can read. Yes, I can read aloud. So, the decision was made. I called to say that I could help. There was a need for nighttime readers. That works for me so I signed up to read from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday morning and I will also read for an hour on Friday morning at 3 a.m. and Saturday morning at 1 a.m. I wanted to read from the Bible approximately every 24 hours. I wanted to see how far the reading would progress during that time. I also wanted to see what passages would by chance (or not) fall my way. I'm excited about this venture. I'm wondering how this will touch me personally.
