Getting ready to walk...

Last week, a  friend, Mary, gave me a wonderful Christmas gift: A new Bible!  Now, if you are like me, you already own several Bibles; some with lots of underlines and highlights, and some with favorite quotes and poems stuck in the pages... some of my Bibles have been read, used and are a little bit worn out, and some are almost like new. All of them are on bookshelves or stuck in little nooks and crannies around my house... Have you ever read through the Bible?  I read through it at least once, but it was many years ago...and though I have tried it again, it seems like I always get bogged down somewhere in Leviticus,  Numbers, or Deuteronomy...but now I feel compelled to try it again in 2015.  This new Bible is different: It has a daily guide starting with January 1.  So, with a plan for the year, it will keep me on track. Somehow, it seems "do-able" this time.  And, it helps to have some accountability.  I know my friend, Mary, will be reading each day with me.  But it occurred to me that some other friends might like to  take my "Walking through the Bible in 2015" challenge.  First, you will need to get one of these beautiful versions.  You have time to buy one in the next week.  It has a beautiful color cover, showing a path winding through the green woods.  I love the quote on the cover: "Let's face it, reading through the Bible is hard.  The Daily Walk Bible makes getting through easier." 
I will try to post weekly, probably on Sunday evenings.  Here we go!
