This comment from December 31, 2009, explains the rationale behind this blog.
Last week I watched the movie “Julie & Julia” and was struck by how Julie’s persistence in blogging about trying to cook from Julia Child’s cookbook each day resulted in an improvement in both her cooking and her dedication to the craft of writing. That is what I am going to attempt to do here, although I don’t expect anyone to ever find this blog or view the contents, I intend for this to be a record of my thoughts in reading through the Bible over the course of one year. I have read through the Bible many times and journaled a good portion of that time, but I have never recorded specifically what I have found from each passage on a daily basis. This will be my first attempt at that. Ultimately, I would like to experience the same results that Julie did with her blog. I would like to become more devoted to the lover of my soul and at the same time become a better writer. So here goes…
I have maintained a blog by this name since then on another platform. Times change and I found myself posting less and less. After a lengthy hiatus during which we relocated from our small college town to the city where I was born, I am ready to rededicated myself to putting down my observations as I make my annual pilgrimage through God’s word.
