Read the Scriptures With a Little Help From the Internet

I've added a new link to my 'Helpful Links' box on the side. (Has anyone even noticed that little box? haha) It's to a site I was just informed about via Facebook called ReadTheScriptures.com.

How many times have you said, "I'm going to read the scriptures EVERY DAY!" and then fail miserably after about a week? That would be me pretty much all the time. I forget. A lot. This website lets you choose whatever book of scripture you want to read (or even Sunday School lessons, etc.) and choose the amount of time you want to read it in. You can choose the default of a chapter a day, or you can do a custom time where you choose when to start and finish. Once you set your goal, it will e-mail you the scriptures you need to read every day. And it won't send you the next day's reading until you've marked it "completed" just in case you skip a day.

I think this is a wonderful tool! I've signed up to read the Old Testament, and set a goal to read it by the end of the year. I've tried to read it before and quit before I even got out of Genesis. Hopefully, this will keep me on track, and I'll actually finish it this time!

There's also a Team feature where you can set up a team of people to encourage one another to reach your goal. It could be fun to do it with other people.

Check it out! This could be YOUR year to finally keep that goal to read every day! :D
