Question of the Day - New Year's Resolutions

It is that time of year...  the old is going and the new is soon to arrive...   so...   what are your New Year's resolutions?  Me?  I've actually quit making them, because I rarely keep them...  

But here is an idea if you need one...  Decide that you are going to read the Bible every day...  What?  You say you are not a Christian?  One does not need to be a Christian, or even to believe in God to read the Bible...  So I offer this as a challenge...  here is how it works...  

Start at the beginning of the New Testament with Matthew, chapters 1-4 on New Year's day... and continue to read 4 chapters every day... Then, when you finish the New Testament, go to the beginning of the Old Testament [Genesis]... continue reading 4 chapters a day...  And when you finish the Old Testament, start the New Testament all over again.  

By the end of the year you will have read the New Testament twice and the Old Testament once...  and it doesn't matter which version of the Bible you read... there is such a variety... pick the one that is the easiest for you to read and understand... 

Who will take me up on the challenge to read through the Bible in 2009?
