I think I've mentioned before that one of the best ways to get a fresh revelation of a passage of Scripture is to read it in a version that is not familiar. The ESV is getting familiar...and it has a very King James feel to it without the archaic language, but I think it will be good to get into it just the same.
I've decided to modify the 3 + 1 format a bit; instead of doing it daily, I'm going to do it 6 days a week. I'll still finish with, like, 3 weeks to go, but that should take some of the pressure off of it as I'll have one day a week for catch up if life gets busy.
But it's going to be hard to track where I am in the schedule.
So I sat down and made a weekly plan for the year, just so I have something to reference if I miss a few days so I can see what I need to do to catch up.
I'm following the same plan I used last year...grouping authors but going semi-chronological.
Starting with Genesis (2 chapters a day), Psalms (1 chapter a day) and the Gospel according to John (1 chapter a day).
The weekly plan looks like this:
Week 1 - Gen. 1 - 12; Ps. 1 - 6; John 1 - 6
Week 2 - Gen. 13 - 24; Ps. 7 - 12; John 7 - 12

That *ought* to finish up sometime around the 2nd week in December. I *think* it's all there; when I was typing it up I found some boo-boos in my handwritten schedule....which is a pretty scrawly mess. (ETA - I discovered I completely omitted 2 Chronicles and Habbakkuk, and had the wrong chapter counts on at least two books and had to go back and refigure everything. I THINK it's right now...)
So...anyone feel game to read along? :-)
