This is Day 16!

In the book 'Mamba Mentality', Kobe Bryant committed to 3 workouts a day. His first workout was 5-7am, so that he could be home to see his kids when they woke up and give him more time to fit in the 3 workouts. He comments that it wasn't a hard decision to make because he knew it was necessary.
We also are getting a spiritual workout in every time we read God's Word and have to learn the same balance and commitment to routine. 
Q: Where do you read your Bible on this mission? Car? Home? Bed? 
I've attached a picture of my office aka 'the lab'- this place is a blessing and where I read from each morning!
