Re-start...with a Purpose!

I have been absent for over a year...busy, distractions, more important things to do...I've got many excuses, but I guess that really doesn't matter. Bottom line is I am planning to post again starting in January. I thought I would do something a bit different though...I am attempting a new discipline for  reading the Bible beginning Jan 5. My plan is to read 7 chapters each day for a week (that's the same 7 chapters for seven days) in an attempt to let the Word speak to me. This is not a plan to simply read thru the Bible in a year, but rather a plan to become intimately familiar with scripture...more familiar than I am now...perhaps to the point of memorizing large blocks of scripture. I will start with the New Testament, specifically Matthew and I intend to post at least weekly, maybe more often, on what I am seeing, hearing, learning from my study. So plan to check in each week, my hope is that we will grow in both knowledge and devotion to our Lord.
