If you’re following our Bible reading plan for the year (our 2012 plan worked so well that we’re doing the same in 2013) you just finished reading through the Bible, if not, now is a perfect time to jump in and read the Bible in 90 days (or in 6 months or in a year). Today’s…
Last year I was the last one in our family to finish the Bible in 90 Days Challenge. I finished at 11:30pm on day 90. This year I finished on the afternoon of day 87 and I was still the last one in our family to finish. I did finish before my friend who started…
Each year all readers in our family read through the entire Bible. It may be one of the most important things that we do. After all if our kids excel at calculus, read Latin fluently and are able to change the course of history with their oratory skills but do not know what God says,…
I was hoping to catch up on the grace days that I took while we were sick at the beginning of this very long and persistent illness that we are still struggling with, but I didn’t so I’ll be finishing up on Wednesday. The children, on the other hand, diligently caught up and will triumphantly…
Our children are starting to count down the number of days left until we finish up the Bible. Doesn’t it feel good to see how far we’ve come and to know that we are almost there? We are almost finished reading through the entire Bible. Reading through the New Testament at this rate has me…
I really enjoy reading the book of Daniel. Daniel stands out to me in several ways. First of all, it has some really great stories that are some all time favorites of many children, the burning fiery furnace, Daniel in the lion’s den, the hand writing on the wall. It also has prophecies and visions…
As I read through Isaiah and Jeremiah, two things struck me. It’s was interesting to me that here in these books, after we’ve read all of this inspired history of Israel, God seems to give us His commentary and His response. Israel (and Judah) were immensely unfaithful and in Isaiah and Jeremiah He shares with…
Win a wonderful way to celebrate and display your child’s art, enter my Fine Doodle Giveaway. This is the point in the reading that things really get interesting. Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon and Isaiah, there is so much that I don’t fully understand and yet one thing has struck me clearly as I’ve read through…
As many of you know I’m in Nashville this weekend at BlissDom learning more about blogging, networking, social media and making many friends. On Saturday morning several of the bloggers participating in the 90 Day Challenge got together for coffee (or in my case tea). We chatted about how the reading was going, what we…
Well, the honeymoon is over, the newness has worn off, we’ve figured how to fit it in and we’re at the point that all it takes now is perseverance and consistency. We simply must keep doing what we’ve been doing. I’ve read that it takes 21 days to form a habit and we are 23…
