30 Day Challenge: Just Do It!

Last Sunday my Pastor challenged us all to read the Bible for 15 minutes a day for 30 days. The idea is to take a snap shot of where your life is now and after 30 days see how/if your priorities, outlook, or life in general has changed. I don't know about anyone else, but I easily get caught up in reading lots of studies or books about God and I forget to actually read the WORD!

Would anyone like to join me? I plan on starting with the book of John and probably just continuing through Acts and Romans. If you don't have a bible you can read it online in any translation from this site. As the last couple of posts have shown, not having enough time can not be an excuse to pass this up. If I can find 15 minutes anyone can!

I am going to begin on October 1st and I'll post updates and excerpts here. If you want to join me please leave a comment here and I promise to contact you in the next month with words of encouragement.

Count me in! I need to make this a bigger priority, and I will read along with you starting in John.

I did this with prayer back in December--committed to getting up (gasp) 15 minutes earlier to pray every day in December. Now, I can't imagine not doing it. Pretty much revolutionized my life post-kids. I didn't have trouble squeezing things like prayer and Bible reading in at random points in the day before kids, but now.... gotta have a plan! Great idea!!
