Well, well, well...
It is Sunday, January 1st, 2006. The beginnings of a new year and many resolutions. I have a couple of friends who are going to attempt to blog each day for the coming year. This desire interests me. I will try and do something similar. But instead, I will try and blog at a minimum of once a week. Please notice the key word in the previous sentence, 'try'. Effort will be made, but time will tell.
I will however attempt with greater effort to read my Bible each and every day. I have read the Bible in its entirety in the past but not in recent years. Last year I began, but goofed up in May or so. My problem is that I am task oriented. When I am pressed for time I speed-read to complete my daily reading. Then I get discouraged when I fall behind. This year I am simply striving for daily reading and sincere prayer time. Over this past year I have not been consistent, so this will be good for me.
Don't hold me to this, but I have thought about reading a NT book each day of the month. I will have to double up on some days to even out books like Titus and Philemon with heftier books like Matthew and Revelation. In addition I have thought about reading 5 or so Psalms each day and a Proverb. I wonder how I would do if I end up with Revelation and Psalm 119 on the same day?
Another thought of mine is in regards to accountability. Perhaps I will publicly (via this blog) discuss how I am doing in key areas. Accountability (the kind where you fill our sheets which show how often or seldom a person read their Bible) often leads me to reading to complete a task, but don't be surprised If I throw one your way once in awhile. And by all means, feel free to ask me.
Well... That's it for this blog. Only 51 more to write!

Do or do not. There is no try.
