Reading the Bible in a Year

Another year is underway! How did 2009 fly by so quickly? The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to think about the future, to set goals, to look ahead. One thing that I want to do this year is to read the Bible all the way through again. I did this a few years ago (though I only took nine months) and it was very rewarding. But because I'm more than a little ADHD, I didn't read one Bible all the way through. I switched back and forth between translations. When I began getting too comfortable with one version, I'd switch to another. Now with techonology, you can even sign up for an email reading program (http://www.bibleinayear.org/). Regardless of how you may prefer to do it, I'm hopeful that you will join me in this journey. Here are several yearly reading plans to consider:

• One year straight through: http://www.ewordtoday.com/year/65/bjan01.htm
• One year with daily readings from Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament: http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/readingplan/oneyearbiblereadingplan.pdf
• One year mixed: http://www.bible-reading.com/bible-plan.html

Check them out and let me know if you dare join me on this journey. You may also want to look in the back of your Bible for other reading plans to accomplish the same goal. Remember, it's never too late to start! Let's go!!!
