I found this interesting. It was a dream of mine to read it through, and praise God that happened in 2008. But I can't imagine going by some sort of schedule. That seems so unspiritual to me. I read it at my own pace. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I often stop in the middle of a chapter when it feels like the right time, and my bible reading has been much more fulfilling the past couple years than earlier when I did it out of duty and read a specific amount each day (such as a chapter). I look forward to reading, learning from the Lord and don't worry about how much I read.Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274760327802884251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-72693220901881921802008-12-30T01:03:00.000-05:002008-12-30T01:03:00.000-05:00Thanks, Russ.Thanks, Russ.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-53669766881233897052008-12-29T05:59:00.000-05:002008-12-29T05:59:00.000-05:00Well, I really do not have resolutions.
