FRIDAY, 1/1/2016
Happy New Year! My prayer is that 2016 will be an absolutely blessed year in your life! I have made a decision regarding the reading of the Bible for 2016. I am going to post a reading assignment that will allow a person to join me in reading the Bible through chronologically in 2016. We have ten blog readers and I am in hopes that at least three of you will join me on this journey. Honestly, it does not matter which plan, if any, you use just read the Word daily. Here it goes:
Friday, January 1 – Genesis 1-3
Saturday, January 2 – Genesis 4-7
Sunday, January 3 – Genesis 8-11
Monday, January 4 – Job 1-5
Tuesday, January 5 – Job 6-9
Wednesday, January 6 – Job 10-13
Thursday, January 7 – Job 14-16
Friday, January 8 – Job 17-20
Saturday, January 9 – Job 21-23
Sunday, January 10 – Job 24-28
Elizabeth & Ellie should be discharged from the hospital this morning. Both are doing well – thank the Lord!
Spoke to Caroline via the phone last night. She remains sick. She is weighted down with the loss of her only daughter. She knows God’s grace will sustain her but she also knows it is not natural to bury your children.
Lisa, Dana, Gina and I arrived home late yesterday morning. Lisa and I had driven through the night so she was really tired. She said, “I am going to bed and you are going to buy groceries at Walmart!” Folks, I learned a really valuable lesson yesterday – do not go to Walmart on New Year’s Eve afternoon! I have never seen that many folks in Walmart! The aisles were crowded with people and the check out lines were long, It was not a pleasant experience!
I did watch college football late yesterday afternoon and last night. I know that Pastor Terry Rainey and Bro. Eddie Burdette are beside themselves this morning as their beloved Clemson Tigers won! I missed that one in my picks. Thought OU was better or maybe I did not think Clemson was that good? Regardless, congratulations to Coach Dabo and his team.
Going to try and catch Elizabeth in the hospital this morning and do some shopping for the Upward concession stand. After that, hope to maybe watch some bowl games although they seem anti-climatic to me after yesterday’s games.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
