I have not been paid to say this

chestnutcurlsKathy and I got this great deal at Blockbuster, and we've been telling everyone about it. For 27 dollars, you get a card that entitles you to one free DVD or movie rental per week for 10 weeks. Then, when the Lord of the Rings DVD comes out, you get one! Since we would have bought it anyway, and since we rent at least one movie a week, this was a great deal for us. If you watch a lot of movies, it's definitely worth checking out.
On a completely different topic, I've been reading through Kings during my own Bible time. It's fascinating, and sometimes confusing, since Israel and Judah have different kings at different times. I made a chart, and that has helped. I'm almost done, so now I'm trying to decide what to read next. I've been in the Old Testament for a while now, since I started with the Samuels and continued into Kings.
Here's a good question. What do you do for your "quiet times" (if you don't mind sharing)? Do you have a method of reading the Bible? Do you find yourself gravitating toward any particular book or section over and over? (I hesitate to ask about "favorite" books, since all of Scripture is God-breathed and useful, and I'm not sure we should have favorites.)
I read through books, but not always in order. I try to balance the Old and New Testaments, and I have a chart showing how long it's been since I read each book. I read a chapter each morning, and then I write in my prayer journal (I concentrate better when I'm writing things out, rather than sitting there). I should (and would like to) read more each day, but I already get up as early as I can stand to. I'm not sure what to do about that.
Anyway, please share. :)
