Chrono Bible 2009

It was been a great year reading the bible and talking on this blog with all of you. I'm so glad so many of you decided to do this and got something out of it. Everyone had great posts and thoughts. Great job to all the folks who have finished on time. I know of one out here. I've got about a month left to go.

Honestly, for me it was tougher this year then the last time I did it. The reason I wanted to do it though was to give. I didn't want to give in all the normal methods of serving, I wanted to give with who I am. I also really hoped that by getting people to read the entire bible we could raise our bible knowledge. There is so much in the bible we never discuss or even realize. It feels like there is an ocean of knowledge of God that we were neglecting.

I have to thank Tera for putting the group and the blog together. I mentioned the idea to her, but since I had just moved I wasn't going to do it. She thought it was a great idea and put somethings together in the OC. She did the hard work and we wouldn't have done it without her.

I'm really going to miss this blog alot. I've really enjoyed it and now it's ending. Thank you for posting your thoughts, questions and points. Thank you for reading my posts or at least being encouraging about them. I'm sad its over. It's been a long year, seems like ages ago we started. I hope it has helped you see more of God, helped you stay consistent in reading your bible or taught you something. It's also not too late to tell your friends to try to do it this year. I will definitely be taking a break from finishing the bible in a year after I finish the last of my Chrono reading. I need to read somethings that engage my heart more. Love you gals and guys, and I'm so proud of everyone who read and finished.

you and Tera did us a great service with the blog! thank you for spurring us along and the meetings that were held for us. i have about a month to go..i was disappointed that i did not finish because i wanted to keep my word. but the most important thing is that i did learn (and am learning still) and was grateful for the insight that was included in chrono bible. i also liked how the commentators were bold and diligent enough to include a summary of the apocrypha, though it is not excepted as scripture by many, i thought it was important to be aware of its contents. i also appreciated how the comments in the chrono bible gave historical footnotes and dates. and even though there were things that they were uncertain of, it just helped the scriptures make better sense. thank you again for serving all of us in this way and i am grateful that god placed it on the hearts of both you and Tera to do so. all the best for the new year and beyond!
