In The Beginning...

This blog looks too plain right now because I just started it... on my iPod, no less. I'll make the layout look a little better once I get a chance to access it from the PC. First, though, I wanted to share what the purpose of this blog is:

I plan to read through the bible one chapter per day and post my thoughts about each chapter. I'll be reading from the Holman Christian Standard Bible, and my plan is to start in Genesis and read in cover-to-cover order. I'm hoping to get feedback from readers, so please let me know what you think of my interpretations!

Why is this important to me? I've been neglecting my bible for far too long. That saddens me because the bible is the quickest and easiest way to receive the Word of God, which is a necessary component of life for those of us who have given our lives to Him. My hopes are that this blog will help me stay accountable (yes, I need readers to help me here), that it might help other believers who are struggling to connect with the Word, and that it might plant a seed for nonbelievers who might come across the blog.

Happy reading!

  1. Just got the template changed, and I think I like it. I'll probably change it a few times, though, until I'm 100% positive I love the layout.

  2. Evidently the background image takes longer to load in some browsers than it does in Chrome. I'll probably overhaul the design of the site tomorrow. For now - bedtime, so I can be awake enough to read Gen. 1:1 in the morning.
