There is a reason you have been nominated as one of the Best Christian bloggers by readers of this blog. Make a blog. We’ll read it.

January
1 Ps 1…Matt 1……Gen. 1-2
2 Ps 2…Matt 2……Gen. 2-3
3 Ps 3…Matt 3……Gen. 3-4
Etc.
The advantage of this plan is that you read the Bible chronoligically. That is, in June, we skip from I Chron.29 to I Ki. 3-4, then to Song of S, then to II Chron. etc. It works.

My wife uses it, but only reads it once, i.e. Ps. once and Gospels once.

But a few ideas come to mind.

1. My dog and I both need more regular exercise. I can ride my exercise bike, but even if he were willing to go down the stairs to the basement (which he is not), he would have some trouble adjusting the seat so that he could reach the pedals. Plus I’m not sure which feet he would use on the pedals. So I think – no, I know he would appreciate it if I take him for daily walks. And now that he is getting elderly (around 11 or 12, I think), he may be more inclined to let me set the pace and stick to it.

2. I have been thinking about starting a blog. At one time I wrote up a web page for our family website, listing the books I had read recently or was reading, and my comments on them. When we changed ISP’s the page got lost because I had originally written it on a different computer than the rest of the website. And while I don’t know if anyone would be particularly interested in what I’m reading or want to comment on my comments, a web page doesn’t offer that capability and a blog does.

3. I have tried various Bible reading plans and have difficulty sticking to them. A month or so ago I started reading Exodus because our small group was reading a book on revival, and it had a chapter on the holiness of God, and various Bible characters’ encounters with God. Moses wasn’t one of them, so I decided to read it on my own. Plus I started reading R.C. Sproul’s book on the holines of God (currently in my stack of books I’m in the middle of). I finished reading Exodus, and read Deuteronomy, as part of assigned reading for another class at church, on an overview of the Bible. I’m sure the rest of the reading for that class will keep me busy, but as there’s so much to read it will probably be relatively superficial reading, for the overall flow of the book as it fits into the Bible rather than indepth study or devotional reading.
So I’m thinking I’ll read some more on Moses. Find out a Jewish perspective on him, for starters. Read other Bible passages about him and the exodus. Maybe memorize Psalm 90. And study the songs of Moses in Exodus 15 and Deuteronomy 32. Do a study on “meekness.” And maybe something on anger management (I’m not the hot-tempered type, as you can probably tell from this blog – but I do have to learn how to deal better with anger than just suppressing or repressing it). Anyway, if I do start that blog I’ll post about my reading/study/thoughts on these things.

Although, KeRM would actually also work. I’m not as cuddly cute as Kermit though.

ok….here’s JJ’s (me) top 5 new year resolutions:

1) invent a new food fad for 2008, then name it after my wife. After all, we only celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary in ‘07.

2) learn to play the mouth-harp

3) buy Ann Coulter something to wear other than that ubiquitous black dress.

4) re-catalog my entire collection of KC & The Sunshine Band records

5) remind myself to NEVER make silly resolutions like this again….

what………you thought i’d actually be serious for a moment?
