A goal for the new year...

Yesterday at church, our good pastor asked the congregation to consider setting a goal of reading the whole Bible this year. I have heard this request before and have never really taken it seriously because, frankly, it doesn't seem doable. But this year I was impressed by Pastor Stan's request. It not only came with pleading words but also with some help for those of us that need it. He made up three pamphlets to choose from, each listing a reading a day for a year - Plan A covers the most frequented chapters of the Bible that will take about 5-8 minutes a day, Plan B covers that and Old Testament History and Psalms that takes about 10-12 minutes a day, and Plan C covers the WHOLE thing that takes at least 20 minutes a day. Okay, I decided to commit to choosing one and then decided that I didn't want to disappoint myself later on so I chose Plan A. Hopefully next year I can commit to Plan B or C, but this year I think Plan A is doable. So, I'm gonna start today at Genesis 1. Wish me luck! Maybe you will hear about what I have read along the way...
