    00:05 Sometimes I get words mixed up and backwards, 00:07 so it can be kind of challenging. 00:09 So do I like reading? 00:11 Not really. 00:13 I don’t know. 00:13 I find books not interesting and boring. 00:17 You know, I just get completely distracted. 00:19 I have to mentally prepare myself to read 00:22 because there are so many things you could be doing. 00:26 I don’t enjoy reading, but I do like reading the Bible. 00:30 For me, it’s more than a book. 00:36 It’s definitely worth it. 00:38 Some people may say it’s not relevant for today. 00:40 But when you do look into it, 00:42 there are things 00:43 you can learn from all the time. 00:45 It’s helped me to think before I speak. 00:48 I find that I’m actually more concerned with other people 00:50 —their well-being, how they’re doing, and looking out for them. 00:54 I think Bible reading has made me a better person. 00:56 It gives me a little push for the day. 01:00 My favorite book in the Bible would probably be the Psalms 01:02 because it’s easy for me to understand 01:05 and it’s really interesting to me. 01:07 The young people, they can go through jw.org 01:10 and get the Bible 01:11 —several different copies of the Bible— right there. 01:13 We’ll type in the certain— 01:15 that certain scripture and there’ll be articles about it. 01:20 Another thing I’m loving is the new videos 01:24 —an introduction to this book of the Bible. 01:27 It just takes two or three minutes 01:30 and you can understand what you’re about to read 01:33 —that book— and that makes a huge difference. 01:35 I go by topics or what interests me. 01:38 I look for something that’s interesting, 01:42 that’s very— that touches me directly; 01:45 it just becomes an enjoyable process. 01:47 It’s very, very relevant, and it’s very important. 01:49 And you can find happiness. 01:51 I mean, who doesn’t want that?
