New Year Changes

For the last several years, I have made no attempt at New Year's resolutions. Typically, by January 10th, all my resolve has dissolved and I feel like a failure. So, why set myself up, right? This year was no different. Prior to the first of the new year, I had not resolved to do anything different or try anything new.
On the first, however, I decided I would resolve to read through the entire Bible this year. I've done it 3 or 4 times before, but not in the past decade. Seeing that this is not only a new year but a new decade as well, I decided to give it a go. It only requires reading an average of 3 chapters per day, which really breaks it down so it doesn't seem so daunting. It's easy to pick up the slack in the shorter chapters of the book of Psalms. Along with my read-through-the-Bible routine, I am also reading a book a day of Proverbs (which, as you probably know, allows one to read through Proverbs in a month) and I want to read through the book of Psalms this month by reading every 30th chapter each day.
This is my one and ONLY New Year's resolution -- no need to get carried away and deciding to change EVERYTHING! So far, I am really enjoying it.
