I always feel that when you read a piece of literature aloud it always seem to hit you differently than when you read it silently. I also enjoy the fact of hearing other people read it, it helps me to understand it more than I did before. Hearing another person's voice is always different than your own, and will hit you differently than your own voice did. Instead of us sitting at our desks and reading aloud I liked the different atmosphere even if it was just on the floor of the room. Going outside would have been such a different feeling. Whether we would have read to one another or just spoke out loud to what was around us. I feel that scripture in any way can touch us in so many different ways, and sometimes we forget to get ourselves out of our comfort zone and dive in deeper into scripture. I believe the more people read themselves and the more they read with other scripture the better they become at understand it. The more engaged they will become, and they will have a deeper appreciation for it. I find this true when I do Bible study alone there is a different feeling than when I have people with me. When I am alone it is a time for me and God to have a one on one conversation. When I am in a small group I feel that you feed off one another and the discussion can turn into something that you had never even thought of before. Taking scripture and putting it into a different kind of setting and tone can help us understand it and to really fully appreciate it for everything that it is worth. I enjoyed reading aloud scripture with the class, I liked the feeling of the spirit I thought entered the room. It was amazing.
