365 Days, 66 Books, 1 Goal Accomplished


In October last year, Tyler told me that he wanted to read his Bible through in a year, for he noticed that his Bible had a schedule to do so. Needless to say, it was a very moving moment for me. As such, I tried to immediately get him to start, for I figured that there was no reason to wait until January 1st. But Tyler had his heart set on starting on January 1st, so he did. Susan immediately decided to join Tyler on his journey, so they both got One-Year Bibles and started their quest. At times, they would get behind a day or two, but they diligently continued reading the Word of God. And, today, two days ahead of schedule, they finished reading the entire Bible. We celebrated their accomplishment by eating out for dinner for the first time on our trip. We went to . . . Outback Steakhouse (what did you expect?). "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11.

Hey Guys~ Congratulations!! to Susan & Taylor...Quite the accomplishment!! Way to go!! Two days early even.... YEAH!!
I am "delighted" to know you have a blog & can't wait to read the previous blogs from your time down under. I must have missed an e-mail somewhere along the way....didn't realize you'd be out of the country for 90 days..WOW!!! in any case, it is pretty slow here @ the courthouse, so I'll have some good reading I'm sure. You guys continue to walk close with Jesus & do know you are thought of fondly. I know you all know how to have a good time, so "Carry On!!". We have played "Apples to Apples" a couple times @ different gatherings...we always think of you guys and the FUN we have playing it with you guys. Well, God bless and we'll be in touch. Your's in Him~ Janelle
