This has been an interesting year. I have been sticking with the 1-year reading plan (for the most part, but catching up when I fall behind). It’s been very enjoyable, but I almost feel like the pace is too fast to really let things sink in. As I read, I’ve been making notes of certain verses that stand out, places to which I want to return and dig deeper. Additionally, the Lord has provided some paid work (hallelujah!), which has taken up some of the time I would have used to formulate coherent devotionals. Don’t take the lack of posts as a sign that this site has been abandoned; there’s a lot kicking around in my mind that I hope to unpack and explore in the next few years here.
As an aside – if you follow either my personal blog or my tech blog, you’ve already read the “We’re back on WordPress” posts. This blog is included; it’s now back to running WordPress after a year on BlogEngine.NET. All the old links should redirect to new ones, and the goal is that you wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t said anything. :)
I leave you with a quick word of encouragement from yesterday’s sermon.
10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love.— John 15:10
Have a great [period of time until we meet again]!

I agree that the daily Bible readings take up a lot of time and do not allow much time for reflection, except on the days when the reading is from Psalms or Proverbs. In fact, if I were still working a full-time job, I don’t know whether I could keep up the pace. I have read through the Bible several times, but never at such a pace that would take me through it in a year’s time. Just keep up the good work you’re doing with your family and “day job,” and the rest will fall into place.
