My Bible Reading Plan – New and Improved
I have made some changes to my reading plan since my first reading plan post back in 2013. Over the past several years I made multiple failed attempts at creating and sticking to a consistent Bible reading plan. Often each day’s reading was just a task to check off my to do list. If I […]
