'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events 2007... On your mark... Get set....
[from Blews.Network and...]
"Let’s Go! The picture above is from the start of the 2002 New York City marathon on the Verrazano Bridge. I think a marathon picture is appropriate for what we will be collectively starting on Monday, January 1, 2007. We will be embarking on a spiritual marathon – together. I do think that this one of the beauties of why people run marathons: they run marathons with a lot of other people. They build up camaraderie and friendship with so many others as they train for and then run the marathon. And that is my hope for our journey together through the One Year Bible in 2007 as well. I pray we’ll build up camaraderie and friendship with each other along the way.
Now, the other important thing to keep in mind about marathons is that they are not easy. But they are certainly not impossible. And this will hold true with our One Year Bible marathon. While it is true that we are in this together, it is also true that this will be a very personal marathon journey between you and God. We’ll each need God to be running this marathon alongside of us if we hope to make the 365 days that lie ahead. This is why I cannot encourage you enough to pray frequently for discipline, good habits, and joyful perseverance in this beautiful journey to come.
"Habits Determine Success" - I read this short 3-word quote on the back of a T-shirt at a 10K road race several years ago. It has stuck with me. I love it. Many of us will be starting up a new habit this Monday, January 1st of reading the Bible for 15 minutes each day over the course of a year. As you know from many good and bad habits, once you stick with something for a few weeks it will stick with you. So, please be extra diligent in early January to pick up the Bible and actually read it each day for 15 minutes. You’ll want to create this good habit early on in the process.
I hope and pray that you realize that you are embarking on a spiritual marathon that could very likely change how you live the rest of your life."
