Happy Reading in 2017

Ohhhh myyyyyy.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Too long. 

My apologies, and I will try to do better this year. 

Happy New Year!  May it be full of God's blessings to you, and may those include books, ideas, and people to share them with. 

I have a few books I've read on the Danish concept of "hygge" that I mean to share with you in the coming week or so.  I'm currently reading Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford.  I think I will continue reading that although it will become a book to dip in and out of as, at least in the part I am in currently, it is more of a series of vignettes than of stories that need to proceed in an orderly fashion.

I've decided to join in Tim Challies's 2017 Christian Reading Challenge.   There are four lists:

Light

Avid
Committed
Obsessed


If you see the hashtag #vtReadingChallenge, this reading challenge is the one referred to.  I plan on doing the "Light" version but may delve into others if I can manage.

I'm also beginning (again) a read-the-Bible-in-a-year plan.  I hope I am more consistent this year.   To be sure, I do read the Bible, but my plans to read the whole thing in a year rarely come to complete fruition.    I'm going to use a plan recommended by Tim Challies.  5-Day Bible Reading Program - I'm linking to his page so you can read the explanation behind his recommendation.

  1. hi karen I am very pleased reading your blog. Yes, I am considering to read/follow the reading recommendations from those you mentioned especially Bible reading plan. Im prayerfully wanting to go back to daily family devotions - my family had started doing this but we had stopped and I feel the need for us to be able to do this. Will surely visit reading your blog.
