Mama Geek Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am excited, I realized this morning, I only have about 2 days worth of reading before getting into the New Testament. When I started I had never sat down and read several of the last books of the old testament, I am pretty sure I have covered all the rest at 1 time or another. Even though I have listened to a fair amount of it I am so glad that I am approaching having read the bible in its entirety. It is supposed to storm this afternoon so maybe after dd is done with school for the day, I will have more time to read and maybe make it to Matthew. I already have 2 books lined up to read after this. I have a book about Martin Luther and I am going to sit down and read The Story of the World so that I can stay ahead of dd (I haven't decided whether to start it in the spring or next fall.) I am feeling like I am starting to get a basic knowledge of ancient history. I also would like to sit and read the bible in 180 days with commentary to go along with it. I am thinking I might start that after Christmas. Please also pray for us. Dh's project is coming to an end in the next couple of weeks, the oil industry has come to a screeching halt and he is a contractor. We are used to contracting and picking up and going where the work is or taking some time off knowing that he will be able to get work easily when he wants it. We are concerned about whether they will come up with something for him to do and if not when the next job will come. It is just different this time because of the economy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllll Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I finished today's reading (although I still have previous reading to catch up on). I will be praying for all of y'all. :grouphug: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaLisa Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wow, ladies. My hat is off to you! It's so interesting to read through this thread. I've read through the Bible several times in a year, but 90 days? ;) That's some serious commitment to reading. I love getting the big picture perspective when I read the books through in a year. Can't join y'all b/c I'm already doing other things but I'm enjoying popping in to see how it's going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I am well on my way in Matthew and have an update on the job situation. They want him for 6 weeks to tie up loose ends and then they are thinking about sending him out to the field for a disaster project that is only an hour from where we currently are. We might be able to get an apartment halfway between here and there and still do our activities we are involved in here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't have much time to be on the boards today, but I wanted to drop in and say I finished Jeremiah today. Tomorrow will be Lamentations and hopefully catch-up day on Psalms. Mama Geek, I pray things continue to work out with the job. Sounds like a good update for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I finished John this morning. Reading the gospels in that short amount of time has really been an emotional roller coaster. Reading the accounts of the death of Christ multiple times over the last several days is difficult and somber. Knowing that he did that to save us all from the things that we do that are sinful and that the price for those sins is already paid. God is good, all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm finally 5 days behind. I finished Jeremiah, Lamentations and Habakkuk. Now unto Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Malachi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I didn't finish Ezekiel because the kids are sick and were horrible yesterday. Maybe today. I'm supposed to start the NT tomorrow. I think I might do that and read the OT as I have time. It's not like I'll get the timelines messed up.

Slache Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Does anyone have any study plans for when you are done with this? Just curious. Doing this has made me want to read the whole thing again, but more slowly with commentary. I would like to read the Bible through once a year or so with different commentaries. I'm also planning on starting every morning with one Psalm and one Proverb since I don't get much time to read in the mornings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The new testament goes quickly. I am reading in Revelations now, I don't know if I will finish today or tomorrow. I am starting a day and a half drive with just me and dd this morning. It is still early and if I can get off the internet and read I will make progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
