Better late than never
So I’ve never really made a New Year’s Resolution before. I think I’m going to make one this year, even though it’s a little late. When I won the AirHead Trivia on Air1 Radio earlier this month, one of the prizes I won was a 1 year bible. I’ve been reading it every day, and have decided that I’m going to make a goal to read the whole thing this year.
Sad to say, I’ve never read the bible completely. I’ve made many attempts; tried to read straight through a couple times, but never made it past Samuel or Kings. I’ve tried reading the New Testament as well, but didn’t get all the way through either. I have listened to the entire New Testament on CD though, if that counts.
Anyway, I have begun reading the 1 year bible and so far it’s been very easy. This book gives you a page or so of the Old Testament, a bit of the New Testament, a passage from Psalms and a passage from Proverbs each day. In all, it’s about 3 pages in the book per day, not too bad, only takes about 15 minutes. It’s really easy reading, and my mind doesn’t get sidetracked because it mixes up the areas of the Bible each day. I found that reading straight through the Bible gets a little dry. It’s never worked for me in the past anyway…
I’ve got some catching up to do since I didn’t get the book until 1/2 way through January, but I’m getting there. Currently reading twice a day until I get caught up. Hopefully making this goal public will keep me on track and actually make me commit to my goal more seriously. 🙂
