I attend two schools, a regular high school and a school for more advanced students, where college level math and science are taught. The bus ride between the two is an hour in the morning and the evening. As the ride is long, most people bring pillows (we have to get up really early!) and MP3 Players/CD players.
Recently, I started reading the Bible during the commute, and as I have my MP3 player with me, I like a little background music to it. Something slow usually, lyrics don’t matter as i’m not focusing on them. John Denver, Maroon 5, sometimes even Lynyrd Skynyrd or Linkin Park. (I have very broad taste in music–not terribly picky unless rap is involved…) At home, where I have access to a tape player, I usually put on Baroque or other classical (more often than not Baroque though–i’m a big Pachelbel fan)(again, broad taste in music)
I was wondering if anyone else uses music as a background to reading the Scriptures in this way or similarly.
