The Date is Set

Well, there's little point in putting it off anymore.  Every time one of my children ask me a question about the bible (Old or New Testament) and I can only give a vague answer, it reminds me that I've got to get this started.

I don't know who or how many may join me reading, but that's not really the point.  I'm reading the Old Testament to read it.  For me.  For my children.  To reduce my ignorance.

I'm sure much will be familiar to me from 39 years of going to mass, but I'm sure there will be much that is new as well.  This is how it'll work...

The first reading assignment for The Old Testament in a Year will be posted on Sunday, August 21st.   I will post my personal thoughts on the reading assignment on the following Saturday and then post new assignments the next day (Sunday).  Should be simple enough.  If anyone wants to post their own thoughts on a reading they can do so either after my Saturday post, or beneath the reading assignment in case anyone is just excited to get posting!

Don't expect deep thoughts.  I mean I'm not really sure what to expect.  We'll see.  It's new to me and I'm no self proclaimed expert.

There is also a Facebook group for this blog which you can access by clicking here.  Remember to check out the above tabs for information on posting, books, expectation and courtesy (yes, I had to go there).

Until Sunday!
