The Survey Bible Reading Plan Day 1

I have decided to do a Reading Through the Bible plan I found at Bible Gateway called Survey Bible Reading Plan.  Do you want to read highlights from every book of the Bible? It doesn't take long, only about 15 minutes or so a day.  Some of the advantages of this approach include simplicity, comprehensiveness, and brevity. As you read, ask the Lord to help you understand, personalize, and apply his Word. You might even try the S.O.A.P. method of devotion time, you can find that here.  Then be sure to thank God for what he's going to do in each area of your life.

Todays reading is Genesis chapters 1-3, 12, 15, and 22.  Click here to read it.

I will be posting the next reading everyday along with an inspiring and encouraging Quote for you to think about as you go through your day! Here is today's inspiring Quote...

"I asked Jesus ... "How much do you love me " And Jesus said ... "This much." Then He stretched out His arms and died."

- Unknown

I am really excited about doing this and it only takes about 61 days to complete, so it is not too big of a challenge, even I can do this one! So, come on and join me, I would love the company...and maybe you could comment and let me know how you are doing and what you are learning along the way. May God's face shine upon you today and beyond and may He give you so much joy that you have to give some away.

Joy!

So here I am spending some time in isolation, due to a medical test,and I have found some joy...Joy in the midst of injections and whole body scans!  Yes you can find joy in just about anything if you look hard enough...I wish I could be as carefree as my mom's cat maggie...she is a refreshing breath of...well...Joy, dare I say it! 


 I am so close to seeing the end of this long and frustratingly slow journey, I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. 


 I was thinking as I was laying in the scanner this morning waiting for it to look deep inside and find any hidden cancer cells, how wonderful it will be to finally have the conversation with my family and friends that this journey we have all been on (like it or not) is finally over, and we can all move on from this beast cancer, and I can look back and say, with God, I slayed that dragon, I fought and won, I am victorious...ya, I can't wait for that day!
