Well, it is time again for the HHBC Singles Labor Day Retreat. I am so looking forward to a time of reconnecting with the Lord in the beauty of his nature. Two full days with nothing planned but devoting every minute to Him.
In that, I have developed a challenge for myself. From 6PM Friday evening to 6PM Sunday evening, I am going to read the entire New Testament. Yikes.
In the interest of full disclosure, I need to admit that I didn’t receive any sort of audible Holy Spirit calling or anything about this. I just thought it would be a fun goal.
So, the nitty-gritty: the version I will be reading from is the HCSB and my particular copy has 452 pages. I would love to say that I chose this because I have done extensive research about the accuracy of translations and awesome smart things like that. But I really chose it because its small and fits in my pocket. *Shrug*
So, 48 hours to do 452 pages. We’ll say 14 hours for sleep leaves 34 hours. What’s that? 13 pages an hour? I think that’s do-able. I read the DaVinci Code in, like, 9 hours.
If I remember to bring my computer I will post some periodic updates to my progress (I say all these things like anyone actually reads this thing 
). But, more importantly (!) I issue you this challenge: YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!
No, seriously, you can. Just pick it up and start reading. Sound off in the comments if you wanna join me!
