I have now been doing the Bible Recap daily reading, since January, every day, I think I only had one day where I didn't read the daily prompt, but caught up immediately the following morning.
I just thought I would come in a do a quick update, mainly for my own record, and to leave it registered here on the blog.
Do I absolutely love the Bible Recap? I would have to say, no. Not because I don't think it's a great program to follow, but the problem I run into is that I am a mood reader, and don't always enjoy following a strict schedule.
There have been days that I have zipped right through the daily passages and there are days that it has been difficult, to say the least. Some days have one or two smallish verses and then there are days that there are 6 or 7 super long ones. It tends to distract me, and I sometimes find my mind drifting, which is not something I want to do when reading the Bible.
For the sake of complete honesty, the old testament books I very dry and often boring to get through, especially when it comes to numbers and tribes and things of that sort, and yes, I've read them all before, so when they do pop up again, I cringe a little.
Will I finish the Bible Recap for the year? Yes, I won't leave it halfway.
Will I do it again next year? Definitely not.
Will I do it again in the future? I'm sure I will, but maybe in 2 or 3 years time.
I know some of you are also doing the Bible Recap or have done it in the past, and I'm in no way, shape or form, saying that it's not a good yearly Bible program to follow, but it's just not for me, and my style of reading. Now, it may change as I continue, I may start really enjoying it, but at the moment, I am finding it a bit hard to stick with it, and often want to go read something else in the Bible.
