There is something about getting the New Year cranked up that is pretty exciting, its like I can finally give myself permission to do the things I should have been doing for the last 11 months. Certainly the ability to harness this kind of thinking every morning would be an improvement to who I am and what I do.

One thing I have never done, that I have begun for 2011, is read through the entire Bible in a year… I think I tried once before, but got stuck in Chronicles 1 or 2. So, this year, I am utilizing an online 1-Year Bible reading track through YouVersion

Because we left Alabama at 5:15 am this morning, I am just now completing my reading for the day and I have to admit, there is a serious feeling of accomplishment in getting to check off the “mark as completed” box.

I have a couple of other goals and re-goals for this year, but I am most excited about getting started with God’s word.
