Well, 2006 is over. Phew. It certainly was eventful. One event that did not happen--our yearly Christmas e-card. Sorry. I hope we do a belated one soon. If so, it will likely appear on this blog. Keep your eyes peeled.On to 2007...thanks to my inspirational brother-in-law, Matt Lundgaard, I'm going to try to go through the entire Bible this year. He did it last year, and it had a pretty profound effect on him. So, thanks bro!
Knowing that this could be a difficult task to actually follow through on for 365 days, I've decided to make it a bit easier on myself by using a Bible Podcast. I knew I'd need a consistent time each day to make this happen. I got to thinking about the 25 minutes I spend driving to work each morning (commuting from Carp--traffic stinks!) This is my new designated Bible time which is pretty exciting. I wonder what kind of effect this will have on my life as the days and months and chapters go by.
OK, so this Bible Podcast that I'm going with is a bit quirky. The dude adds tons of reverb and low-end EQ to his voice so it might take some getting used to. (Implying that I'm challenging you to join me this year!) He also has music and nature sounds in the background which might drive you or me crazy. Lastly, he uses a new translation each week. I really wanted a daily NIV podcast but didn't find one. There are some other Bible Podcasts that might suit you better or maybe you want to actually read!
So who else is joining me in going through the Bible this year?

The Morgans are with you! We started yesterday!
I have read these two days of the one year bible so many times with the best of resolve to read the whole thing...maybe I should start in "March" now since that tends to be when I run out of steam...the one time I did succeed it took me from Jan-April...wish I could find my ipod so I could join you on the car time readings...but then again Abby might not appreciate the lineage of Jesus...yet!
Hi Andy, I will join you in reading the Bible Daily, but I think I'll do it on my own. I checked out the Podcast and think I would prefer to listen to the Lord reading to me. Not that it isn't a great idea, I just feel that I can get more from it if I focus on the word rather than the narrator. This will make about the fifth or sixth time I've read it through and each time gather more and more pearls of wisdom. Love Mom AKA Grandma Shudu
Hey Andy,
I'll bite. I'll go in with you on this. I did it in 2002 and enjoyed it. I don't think I'll join you in the podcast, though--I'd inevitably start mocking it and I'd feel a bit funny mocking the Bible... (we all have limits)
Hey Andy, I got to thinking if you're going to be listening to the Bible on your way to work, hopefully it will catch on. I'll bet that would definitely be a deterrent to road rage. Love ya! Grandma Shudu
