I found this space between a couple of cars, in front of the lake, the sky was blue, the sun was up, but there was an incredible, constant breeze coming in, the day was almost perfect. I started reading the book of Joel at first, but after reading the first couple of passages I didn't think I was getting the right feeling, so I started reading again and started to put a little more emotion to the words, but I still didn't think I was getting the right feeling out of the scripture, so I started again and this time I started putting my self in Joel's place and started visualizing his surrounding and started putting faces on the people he was speaking to, my vision started to be so vivid, it was almost as if I was there myself.
In-contrast to reading quietly, I feel that when reading aloud, in a quite setting you get so much out of the literature. After reading Joel the first couple of time quietly, I was surprise to see some of the new things that stuck out to me. before I mainly focused on the vision overall and I also focused on the tragic things that were to come, I completely missed or just did not acknowledge the whole part about repentance.
