...but I've decided to read through the entire Bible this year!If anyone wants to do the same thing, it's not too late to catch up the last few days! I'm using the One Year Bible Online reading plan. In the course of this year, it will take me through the Old and New Testaments and through Psalms and Proverbs a couple times each. Each day, you read from each of these places (OT, NT, Ps., Pr.).
In 2007-08, I read through the Bible, starting in Genesis and finishing in Revelation. I got alot more out of the Old Testament than I ever had before, but, overall, 2007 was a pretty dry year because I made the mistake of doing 98% of my Bible reading from the Old Testament. The Old Testament is important, yes, and should be read and studied and known. But the New Testament is the water to go with the bread. If all you eat is bread, your throat will get really dry and you will find that you become dehydrated. But if all you drink is water, and have no food, you will become weak and malnourished. (I realize that this is a weak analogy but, on a very surface level, it works.)
So that's one of my new years thoughts...
Other new year thoughts?
In a very random order...
- Y2K was 9 years ago already...nine years since Uncle Dennis snuck out of the house and found the main breaker...all the lights went out near midnight, but soon everyone was wondering where Dennis was...I missed the countdown that year...but I'm not bitter...
- What will 2009 hold? Does anyone else wonder this every January?
- Last year or the year before, I decided that I would try to read either one book a month, or one book a week for a year, I don't remember which...either way, it didn't last beyond February.
- When I was in high school, my friends and I had a new years resolution box...each year we would write two or three resolutions on pieces of paper and put them in the box. Then, we would tape the box up with packing tape and open it again the next year and read our old resolutions. It was usually good for a laugh...oh, the resolutions of children...
- And everyone can guess the two big questions that are on my mind for this year! What? Can't guess? Well, I suppose you'll have to come talk to me to find out...(don't worry, they're not all that new or exciting!)

I was just thinking about the resolution box the other day when I was watching a Corner Gas episode where they bury a time capsule every year and also dig it up annually.
I forgot about the resolution box! I liked that idea. There's something about traditions among friends that's so warm and fuzzy :).
Aww I miss you guys! It was kinda fun and warm and fuzzy :)
