Accountability Update...

My "read the bible through in 90 days" reading plan is, well...it may take a smidge more than 90 days. I actually don't know how long it will take me! I can't say that I am totally surprised, but I wish I was a little farther along. But, the good thing is that I have been trying to make it much more of a priority and have been enjoying reading large chunks of scripture at once. Using the free ESV audio bible online while I read along is very helpful if I am able to sit at the computer while I read. If you click the link above look for the word "listen" to access the audio bible.

One of the things that has been on my mind through this reading plan is that I want my kids to *SEE* me reading the bible and *SEE* me praying. I could do it after they are in bed or before they get up, but I also want them to grow up having seen me in the bible and in prayer often. It might not be a predictable, regular schedule, but I want them to grow up with those images fixed firmly in their minds.

I commend you for making a point of showing your children godly disciplines. If "children learn what they live with," I think there can be few more powerful positive things than seeing a mom in prayer, in the Word, and in obedience to her Lord. Thanks for this reminder.
