What's On Your Toilet?

On it. Not in it. I don't care about the second. =)
Growing up, there was almost always a copy of Reader's Digest on the back of the toilet. I would always read the funny stories out of the magazine. It's was the old reliable and I would read from it almost every day.
Recently I've been wanting to spend more time reading the scriptures. I've tried different things to block out a section of time to devote to ONLY reading the scriptures. It's really hard with our less-than-predictable schedule and my girls who get up early in the morning.
I've done scripture journals. I've read on themes. I've given just about everything a try. I've even read them backwards to pay attention to detail (that's how you edit papers, so why not?!). I still find myself going faster than I want. I want to get into the scriptures and ponder them...not just remember story lines or what I've learned before or other things like that.
I found my solution. I figured that I use the bathroom multiple times per day. So, I grabbed one of our copies of the scriptures and gave it a new home on the back of the toilet. Now, every time I make a pit stop, I pick them up and read. Sure, I'm not going to win any scripture reading contest this way, but it does give me a chance to truly think about a verse or two at a time. Let me tell you, it works! I've had more epiphanies in the past few weeks than I have in a long time. I'm thinking differently about them because they are broken down into smaller bits for me to ponder on and I'm exposed to them consistently throughout the day.
