Blame it on these unusual times. Several weeks ago, I came upon a Facebook ad inviting me to the Bible in a Year Podcast with Father Mike Schmitz. The invitation came at the end of January, that dead-of-winter time when we all need something special to keep us going. My own church wasnât meeting in person, and still isnât. During this on-line time of COVID, I donât have a lot of places to go or people to see. So I pondered the offer: Free daily podcasts from a Father Mike, campus chaplain at University of Minnesota in Duluth, who would read, pray and discuss Scripture installments from Genesis to Revelation.
