Oops…Have you caught our mistake?

Have you caught our mistake in the Resting at the River’s Edge Schedule?
If you’re on schedule, you noticed yesterday and will notice today that we’ve turned the book of Ezekiel into a 52 chapter book! When God only inspired 48 chapters! Oops. The schedule has us reading chapters 49 through 52 this week. Sorry about that! We learn every day that only God is perfect! 🙂
This is actually the second mistake in this year’s schedule. The first mistake was forgetting to include 2 Thessalonians earlier in the year, so we nudged it into an open spot in the New Testament schedule later in the month. Unfortunately, that’s also a day when we are scheduled to read three chapters of Zechariah! So, may I make a suggestion? The book of 2 Thessalonians would make a great substitution for the never-written chapters of Ezekiel. Consider reading this short 3-chapter book this week and you’ll stay on a regular reading schedule.
BTW – I’m thinking of a schedule for 2012 that has us reading the Bible chronologically. What do you think?
In the meantime…Enjoy God! Enjoy life!

I like reading the old and then the new testaments. You might be reading a book that you don’t really like or one thats a little harder to understand in the old testament but you know that you’re only reading a few chapters then you move on to the inspiring new testament books.
I’m not sure I would stick with the reading plan like I have with this one. I can see myself feeling like I’m never going to finish reading the Bible. Where reading two books at one time I can’t believe we have almost read the Bible in one year.
Thanks for the input, Sharon. I’ve never done a plan that has reading only 1 Testament at a time…you make good arguments for not doing it.
Oh, and congratulations on almost having the whole Bible completed! Isn’t it exciting?
