Sorry, this post isn't related to our reading. But I see the dates ticking away for the month of December, and I wanted to run an idea past everyone for what to do in January. Most of us have made it through two years of reading together, which (humbly speaking) I think is quite amazing!! SO, now that we've been through the New and the Old Testament...we can say that we've actually read the whole Bible (in a couple weeks we can, anyways).
For January, I kinda wanted to keep things going, but change things up a bit at the same time. Going along with our ability to say we have read the whole Bible...how many of us can remember much of what we've read? Scripture memorization has been a struggle for me, mainly because I don't devote any time to it. Put it to music and I fair much better, but I'm talking about really taking a verse and knowing it by heart...something we should all do if we're to wear the full armor of God.
I found a really nice reading plan that takes you through the year reading the New Testament. There are "days off" of reading that are marked for 'reflection'. It would make a nice opportunity to not only reflect on what we've read but to also allow for time to study a particular verse. I was thinking that there could be a verse for the week that we have on our blog, but you could use your own verse if you find something that applied to anything you're going through or you find more meaningful. And, if that were the case, I'd hope you'd write on the blog to share the story behind it.
Ok...I realize I've written most of this under the assumption that you would all like this idea, and maybe you don't! Please comment and share your thoughts. I am happy to look for more reading plans, or if you have one you've been wanting to try let's look at our options!!
