We started a library this evening of books we plan to read over and over to grandchildren. We got the book Susan Jeffers illustrated of the Robert Frost poem, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." I’m not sure which book you are referring to.

I was also happy to see that "A Child's Book of Grace" you guys gave me for Xmas seems to have Bible stories in story-form which is muuuuuch easier for me to understand. A kids' version of that "The Story" book you lent me. Maybe I returned it. Maybe I still have it.... ? That’s a good point too.

The goal is reading the entire Bible. How fast you do it isn't the main point. In 90 days, one year, or 13 months...whatever. I plan to read the volume in 90 days but if it takes me four months, well....fine. There is, however, a fine point in this plan. Reading such large sections each day should reveal overarching themes and help connect stories in ways I might have missed before when I focused on one pericope or worse, just a verse or three.

Though I still think that is a success story because you're right about the stamina dilemma. It also started to blur together for me so I shall try this 90-day path this year. But not right away in the New Year because NY's resolutions stress me out and I don't enjoy them.
