I have never read the entire Bible. I have probably made it through "maybe" half of it. I am not real sure. I have just sort of selected a book at a time over the past couple of years to work my way through. Sometimes I have been more disciplined than others in doing this.

As you may know ... a few days ago I started covering "A Psalm A Day" here on my blog. I pull from different translations based upon what I see that resonates best with me. Sometimes I try to provide a few personal comments on each Psalm -- some detail on where I think it's coming from and how it's reaching me. Warning to everyone, though: I am not a Bible scholar.

Okay, as you know there are 66 books in the Bible, right? There are a total of 1189 chapters in those books. 1189 divided by 365 is 3.2 .... something.

I am going to try to work my way through the Bible here on my blog ... a chapter a day ... it will take about three years and three months but, by early 2010, I shall have made my way through the Bible ... in a unique way. I will continue to pull from the translation I like best for that chapter.

What better way to stick with the title and theme of my blog.

I will invite you along on this journey if you like ... feel free to invite others ... I would love to see others share comments or personal experiences related to each book as we work our way through the Bible. I would also love suggestions on what book we cover next. Right now, we have our work cut out for us with Psalms but we'll get there.

I think this will be fun ... and good ... and a way of moving forward ... from the shape I am (or we are) in.
