250 chapters in and Bible Summary is very much part of normal life in the Juby household. The summaries take about 15-30 mins first thing each morning and are published with very little fanfare these days.

The routine continues even on special occasions. I've now published summaries on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, my wedding anniversary, my wife's birthday and my own birthday.

My wife and I have been on holiday recently, staying in various locations in France and Spain. (Yes, I'm showing off!)

Before we left I thought it was going to be a challenge posting summaries each day overseas, but it was almost disappointingly straightforward. I had a wifi connection almost every day and the data roaming charges for my phone were surprisingly reasonable.

The whole experience made me reflect on how inconceivable this project would have been only a few years ago. Both the technology and the medium are utterly 21st Century.

Anyway...

Tomorrow is a significant day for Bible Summary. David is about to make his first appearance!

I'm one fifth of the way through the Bible! I've completed 8 books. There may be a long way still to go but it's going surprisingly quickly.

Reaching Ruth is a relief after those last chapters of Judges! Ruth is set in the same period as Judges and both books anticipate the time of the kings, but they could hardly be more different in tone. Ruth is a beautiful tale of loyalty and God's provision.

I want to be particularly careful with shorter books that the chapter summaries work as a whole, so I've already planned the summaries for the next four days. It will be interesting to see whether that makes a difference.
