What works for me
As of today, I have stayed committed to the Bible reading plan and caught up from my late start. It's working out so well, in fact, that I wanted to share the new reading practices I've developed.
First off, I used the blended, Bible in a Year plan. The website from the previous entries is great because I can access the plan I chose from any Internet connected computer and to see what passages I am supposed to read that day. It even highlights the current day you are on.
Then I use BibleGateway.com to display the passages I am to read. For instance, I can type 'Genesis 1-3' into the search box and only those passages will be displayed. You even type 'gen.1-3', or filter down to particular verses, like 'gen.1:1-7'.
BibleGateway.com has many other Bible search features, like having dozens of different translations that you can instantly switch between. It also has links to the footnotes in the text you are reading so you can simply click on the footnote link, read the footnote, then click back and you are right back in the flow of the scripture. This is very helpful.
After displaying the passage, I simply tap control+ a couple of times in Firefox (you are using Firefox as your browser, right?) on the keyboard and the text becomes large on the screen. I can then sit back and read the passage. Surprisingly, this has been working out very well for me. It's comfortable but not so much that it makes me sleepy. And it is very easy to read.
This is what works for me and I just wanted to share it. God bless!


Check out another great resource called www.studylight.org. You can get down to the Hebrew and Greek translations of individual words. Wonderful resource.
