It's 2014! Happy New Year! Reading Genesis To Revelation

Happy New Year!

Out with the old and in with the new. I've heard other people say that the year 2013 was not a particularly good year for them and they're glad it's gone. The Lord Jesus has blessed me in many ways, however I too am glad 2013 is g-o-n-e. Not being superstitious, but the number 13 has a bad connotation to it. Goodbye and good riddance 2013.

As I mentioned on my other blog,  Seeking God First I have decided to read through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation again. I said I wanted to post here and keep track of my reading. I've already slacked on posting. I told ya, no promises on that. :)

I have been reading my chapters everyday though. I created a Bible reading plan and I started reading on January 1, 2014. I generated my plan from a free software program. For anyone who wants to check it out, it can be downloaded at http://www.oakleys.org.uk/software. I went with generating a plan to read the entire Bible in 350 days. I should finish about a couple of weeks before the end of the year.

Last year I went with a shorter time period and had big portions of scriptures to read everyday. I accomplished my goal and finished in a shorter period of time, but this year I decided to take a longer time. This way I only have to read two or three chapters a day. It's easy-breezy. There shouldn't be any excuses and I can even read ahead if I want to.

After I generated my reading plan I put it in a spreadsheet. I'm filling it out as I complete each day. I may put the spreadsheet online for others to follow me all the way through the Bible. We'll see. I definitely want to post up at least a sentence or two on this blog as I go along; making notes of interest on what I'm reading each day. Again, no promises, but we'll see. My first blog post on my progress is coming up so stay tuned.

Anyway, I wish every Christian would read through God's word. It's very satisfying and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

Checking out for now. Happy new year.
