My bible reading plan

Where do I start my next bunch of Ramblings??? (I've only got 33 topics to choose from...)

One of the best things I did over the Summer was buy the new NIV study bible. It's the first bible, for my personal use, that I've brought for well over a decade... and it's pretty awesome.

My plan was/is to read the entire New Testament by the end of the Summer (which has morphed into the end of March).

As such, I scoured the internet to find a bible reading plan which would take around three months (since I was planning to take Sundays off).

But, alas, I couldn't find anything which tickled my fancy.

So, I sat down with my new bible and developed my own, trying to connect the natural thought chunks from the various books.

My last scripture reading scheme was back in 2012, which I posted about here. Needless to say, that time, I failed spectacularly!

This time I'm doing much better, currently sitting on day 39.
