I know that several of you are hoping to start a new Bible reading plan for 2011. I'd like to point you to YouVersion.com, which has 50 different Bible reading plans that you can manage online with a computer or through most every portable device imaginable. It is an extremely flexible system and has 20 different English translations from which to choose, if you are reading online. If you want to read in another language there are 22 others to choose from.

So, I'm going to start-out reading from The Message translation using the "blended" reading plan.

Oh, and did I mention that it's all free. No gimmicks. No spam. This is a ministry of LifeChurch.tv -- one of our Covenant Church partners.
