Commitments

It’s that time, isn’t it?

A new year.  A fresh start.  A bright beginning.

It’s just a good time to put my hopes up high and start what has yet to be accomplished.

Read the Bible in a year.

I’ve pieced and parceled my way through the Bible long enough in no particular order.  I am going to try and read it chronologically from beginning to end instead of the order it’s arranged.  I am interested how Job will be historically introduced from that order.  I am curious how the Psalms will be weaved in.  I love how some books will be shuffled in and out like a deck of cards in sequence of dates and times.

So, I’m making a plan.

But, I have some bases to cover.

I have a community group for accountability.  I have a plan that guides the process using my hardbound Bible as my preferred choice of reading, but there is also an online option available that is audible when necessary.  I have chosen a translation that limits complicated obstacles. I’m also following along with a guide and commentary called Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble.

You know, my 7-year-old granddaughter in her enthusiasm with a personal accomplishment said recently with glee, “I tried and my try worked.”

So with anticipated glee, I’m making a commitment to try.

If you want to follow online, try with the Holy Bible app and see if your try works.

If you want a hardcopy, try a personal Bible and see if your try works.

If you want support, try a community group and see if your try works.

If you want to start, try Genesis 1:1 and see if your try works.

Start with me.

“In the beginning.”
