So, I have NEVER been good at keeping resolutions. And by not good, I mean that I don't keep them at all. But for some reason, this year my husband and I made several resolutions (haHA). None of which we have kept EXCEPT for the one that we both most wanted to stick with, namely, the commitment to read the whole Bible in a year, preferably every day. He chose to use the MacArthur Daily Bible; I am using the NIV Daily Bible published by Harvest House.
So how am I doing? hmmmm. . . ?
I am on February 12th.
My husband would not tell me what day he is on. I think I am doing better.
BUT! HEY! The impressive thing is, we have not given up. I WILL finish the Bible before December 31, 2009, even if it means pulling all-nighters.
Reading the Old Testament straight through has proven to be both inspiring and challenging to my faith. Perhaps I will organize my thoughts into a post for another day.
