My Greek prof has been very insightful about random things we do in our life. During his seminary days, he used to read when stopped at red lights. This netted him a total of 3 minutes of extra reading per day. However, this 3 minutes taken over the course of the year = 18.25 hours. That allowed him to read three more books throughout the course of the year.
So I gave it a shot this morning. I have a half an hour train ride (which I normally spend reading), and a half an hour walk to work (undiscovered reading territory).
The conclusion: I finished the chapter assignments for one of my books! I also nearly got hit by a car. Definitely, living life on the (bleeding) edge....

are you in bible college now? lol, you are definitely living life on the edge! you should check out 'Faith by Hearing', has lotsa sermons you can put into your mp3 player :) also Christianaudio.com has lotsa audiobooks, plus they even give out a few books for FREE every month! .... just a safer option to avoid getting hit by cars.
lol. I am taking a course... I wouldn't necessarily say "in bible college". :P
I get Christianaudio.com's books now and then. I haven't ever tried out audiobooks. I enjoy reading and highlighting, but I'll give it a whirl.
Even if I started listening to books instead, I don't think the number of near collisions will decrease. I seem to naturally attract trouble. :)
you mean you were reading whilst walking?! that's asking for a motor vehicle-pedestrian collision!
i heartily encourage the audiobooks & sermons that G has recommended! for the safety of your life, which would be effective walking about than lying in a hospital bed!... although that could also be a good place for sharing the Gospel.
