New Year's Resolution

I'm trying to keep things simple this year, with just one resolution: to read through the Bible in a year. I've only done it once--the year before I started my freshman year at Emmaus.

Here's the plan I've settled on (click link to view as PDF). Here's what I like about it:

1. Simplicity. You're reading in just one book at a time, along with a chapter from Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, or Isaiah.

2. Variety. It alternates between the Old and New testaments, so you don't get bogged down.

3. Days off. There are only 24 readings per month, which gives you days for the inevitable catch-up when you fall behind.

4. Printable. It is nicely formatted (with check-boxes) to fit on just one sheet of paper (both sides). Plus, if you lose it you can just print off another one.

Anyone else want to share their resolutions for the new year?

This looks like a nice plan. I'm going to see if I can find a read through in 2 years. ;) That would be more my speed.

That's was Jen.
Andy is doing a 2 year read through, too. I don't think he's following a plan though.
