Every year on the first Sunday in January our church has bible day. We have the Director of the BEAMS ministry come and speak. https://www.facebook.com/beamsbibles?fref=ts They print and send whole bibles to missionaries around the world. They print them in multiple languages so people can have a bible they can read.
Every year he also passes out bible reading charts so that you can mark off as you read a chapter in the bible. The goal is that you will try to read the bible through in a year. If you send it in after completing it then they will send you a certificate of completion. I have tried and failed many times. I am sad to have I have never read the whole bible in my life. This year I decided I would try. I have a couple of new friends who are holding me accountable and checking on me. So far as of today I will complete chapter 27 of Genesis.
True I have a long ways to go to reach my goal. I do know that if you reach for nothing you will reach it everytime. I don't want to reach nothing so I am reaching for something. I will be checking back in here periodically to let ya'll know how I am doing. Anybody want to join me on this journey? It is never too late to start.
God bless,
Pat
