[Gospelchristianity] Bible Reading Schedule

[Jaime M Madrid]

LOL!  It seems we have some very verbal men in our group, and some very tired women! 
I (Jen) enjoyed our time together last night.  (I'm sure Jaime did, too, but he's asleep right now, so I'm unable to ask him!) Thanks for the ideas about Bible reading together.  I'm very excited about doing this as a group..Would you all please ask me how I'm keeping up with my Bible reading at any time it may come to your mind to do so this year because this is something I've wanted to do consistently, but I haven't had the will or discipline to do it...

"The Lord bless you and keep you:
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious ot you: 
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you 
and give you His peace."
 
Numbers 6:24-26
 
Love,
Jen

Great idea.  4 chapters a day may seem daunting but I used this schedule for several years to great profit.  I would read with 4 questions in mind: 
What verse tells me something about God?
What is a promise for me to believe?
What is a command for me to obey?
What is the main verse the Holy Spirit is impressing on me today?
 
I would write my thoughts on these and it proved very helpful.

I enjoyed our time together last night.  I especially enjoyed the trouncing that the men gave the women in Taboo.  I thought women were more verbally oriented. :-)  I also enjoyed our sharing and prayer times.  I really am planning to be more deliberate and disciplined about my time this year.  I'd appreciate any help along the way in the form of prayers or questions on how I am doing.

Here is the Bible reading plan I mentioned that I am going to try to follow this year.  I'd be glad for any of you to follow it in part or full.  Reading the Bible together would give us some common experience with God and each other to talk about at small group meetings and elsewhere.

It has two "family" readings and two "secret" readings per day.  The "family" readings to to be read with your family, and the "secret" readings are to be part of your personal devotions.  I think they are probably set up to be one of each for the morning and evening.

Our family is going to read the New Testament family reading for the day at night together before the kids go to bed.  The rest we are going to read as "secret" readings for now.  I have thought about  opening up the small group website to allow a "blog" section where we could write a small reflection on our reading.  Maybe we will try and see if it sticks.  See http://smallgroup.midnighthour.org/blog

Well, I have some reading to do.  Happy New Year.
