January 18th Launching Bible Reading Plan!

As promised, we are going to launch the Bible reading plan one week from today, January 18th!

Why should you care?

• If you're like me, you've started reading the Bible only to get to Genesis 24 and then flicker out... not anymore, we're going to do this together...
• If we believe what we believe and as we learned in the story of Solomon, reading the Bible will help pour wisdom into our lives and inevitably will help our choices, decision-making, and give us some unique opportunities to encounter God...  This is one of the few factors we CAN control...
• Thanks to YouVersion, the Bible now is more than something to read, the Bible is now a place where Community can occur!  We get to do life together embedded in the Bible as we share thoughts, questions, notes together...
• Join me and those who've already committed to exchange the least helpful 15 minutes of our day for 15 minutes of life-giving Truth.  Think about it... 15 minutes of the home shopping network, organizing your socks, brushing your cat, waiting on hold, stuck in traffic... for 15 minutes of God given wisdom...

How do I get started?

• Create an account at http://www.youversion.com .  No hassle, you can build your profile and add any additional information you like...
• Here is the "Group" we've set-up where we'll be together: http://www.youversion.com/groups/grangerbiblejourney2010  (FYI, we're working on editing the description a bit but this is the right group...
• Here is the Reading Plan we'll tackle together: http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/old-testament-and-new-testament   If you fall in love with another reading plan, go with it!  We'd still love to have you part of our group...
• We can make contributions together, learn together, and get to learn this great tool of the Bible via the web or your mobile phone!
• We'll make some additional resources and blog posts here throughout the year to track the Journey.  Get started late?  Fall behind?  Stay with us, keep pressing in...

Really, shift 15 minutes of the most useless part of your day for accomplishing a great feat this year that will add huge value to your life.  You game?
