I am not one that is real big for making resolutions, and even when I do I try not to call them such. Two years ago I did begin our financial journey at the beginning of the year; of course last year we just all said “Happy No Year” since we spent our entire year serving the Army putting our lives on hold.
This year Amy has helped me find the solution to something I have always wanted to do yet never took the time to do; read my Bible through in a year. The perfect solution for me is to daily receive the portion I am to read in my Bloglines with my other RSS feeds. No matter how busy I am I always stay up to date on about 40 or so web sites, so adding my daily Bible reading here was a perfect solution for me.
You can join in here, or if you prefer you can read it online here, or just print out the schedule and use your own Bible here. It’s not too late to get started, so go ahead and make 2008 the year you finally read through the Bible in a year; no excuses.
That is a great solution! I’m working on this again this year, too. This year I’m reading through using The Message paraphrase and the calendar given out at our church. It is a little different than most of the schedules I’ve been able to find online, though, so I’m having to remember to keep the little calendar accessible. It gives you a couple of chapters a day in each of the old and new testaments which is nice because other reading calendars I’ve used in the past have focused on one book at a time and some of those old testament books… Well let’s just say it is nice to have the variety.
Good to hear from you. Our church announced the next ’semester’ of Financial Peace University starting up today and it made me think of you. Love your post on Iowa. Yeah, evil sums it up pretty well. 
God Bless you, Joel.
