Bible in a Year (take two!)

I decided to start the Bible in a year again this year - actually I started a few days earlier at the end of December 2010 when I received this Bible...


I have officially done one week of readings and it's been quite good so far. Already once, the passage I read (and the verses that I highlighted) came up the day after - when the verses were the text used for the sermon in church! I remember thinking the night before, it's funny that not many sermons are preached about Enoch and then just like that, the very next morning the message was about how Enoch walked with God!
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 
Genesis 5:22-24 
What will be better this time round is that there's a group of us doing Bible in a Year with the same Bible, and hopefully, this will give the extra motivation and positive peer pressure to keep up with the readings. If you're interested, the link to the blog that we will be keeping is here

Thought it was also funny that Jon Acuff's Stuff Christians Like blogged about Bible in Year today too

We'll see how this goes in the coming year...
