I would have posted sooner, but work has been a real bear this week. Robin: Your site is such a wonderful labor of love. I hope everyone takes some time to go through your works. Thank you for giving this to the world. Jack: Thanks for the encouragement! I have to confess that while I have eventually read all the books of the bible, I never successfully managed a bible-in-a-year course. It sounds like you have a plan that would be worth putting up for other folks to see -- would you be interested in sharing? Also, I had a pastor once who recommended reading the same book of the bible thirty times in a row (he said to start with Phillipians). He swore that by the time you were done you'd have a whole book of the bible essentially memorized. Again, I have failed to actually accomplish this. Although about eight times through Phillipians has left its mark on me. :) Anjie: Great to hear from you! You know good and well what's mine is yours. :) Although, I don't know that I have any better handle on twitter than you do. I have an account, and I get it, but it just doesn't have much application for me. It would probably be an outrageously positive adition to FLBYU, I would think! Email me and let me look at what you're doing. Peace, y'all. Hey, everyone. I would have posted sooner, but work has been a real bear this week.

Of course I have always loved yours and tammy's but I have to say I am IMPRESSED with how your blog looks and your use of video at the same time. CAN YOU HELP ME get my GENERIC blogs more "person" centered? I would also be willing to write an "off the cuff" blog for my walk with Christianity if anyone is interested, as you know I have an opinion on just about anything! :) OH YEA and the TWITTERING , I haven't figured out how to respond to a twitter, I GUESS WHAT I AM SAYING IS "can we talk?" LOL maybe I could come over one evening for a visit? love the new social networking I am seeing from PCC it has some “person” ality!

Love the site! I would like to weigh in on daily Bible reading. Years ago, I was challenged by my pastor to read through the Bible with him using a one year program. I have to admit, I failed miserably. I was reading a King James Version and made it through about three months. Hating to fail, the following year I tried again, this time with an easy to read version. I stuck with it and, not through my strength; I made it through in a year. Since then I had developed my own plan and have read through many different translations for a total of fifteen times. I am not a memorization fellow but feel I have absorbed the Word through the repetition of reading and reading again. Others have read with me, from the ages of sixteen to seventy-five. I always find this daily reading a blessing. What amazes me is that those times when I fall behind (and who doesn’t), I end up reading the exact Word I need on the day I need it. Let me encourage all of your fellow bloggers to find a plan and start reading. You will be blessed. Hey Scott. Love the site! I would like to weigh in on daily Bible reading.

There are several other things I have done that you might find of interest. One is the Running Oration that puts the four gospels in one running document from the Upper Room through the Ascension. One version (without demarcations) just has little superscripts so the entire ordeal Jesus endured is more fully seen. Also, I have a "Stick Figure Gospel Presentation" available that uses little drawings one can present and it helps the presenter to make sure all the elements of a complete presentation are covered without becoming a "canned" presentation.

For folks who would like both a little privacy and community, this is a great way to go! Is there a place on the Net that can tell more about The Journal? I know we're getting readers that aren't necessarily a part of our church. Connie: I love YouVersion! I'm going to poke by and see about it for myself, actually. That is such an awesome idea!

Since they are web and mobile based, you can easily take this with you without even having to tote a book around. http://www.youversion.com/one-year-bible Hey Scott, YouVersion has posted a one year Bible reading plan.

Which is always fascinating, because God ends up revealing different things to different folks out of the same scriptures.... Great post, Scott. Thanks for the extra links...

Thanks for stopping by! I did watch the video on your site. I so very much appreciate your wit and dry humor. I was laughing out loud at my laptop to the dismay of my family. The Michelangelo shot was an absolute hoot. Thank you so very much for the offerings on your site. I have been through a bit of it and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I even signed up for the occasional newsletter. Yeah, I do one long video with all the outtakes, accidents, camera adjustments, etc., (usually about 20 minutes total) and then edit down to the final product. I do have to plan a little bit for my staging or else I end up doing too much of the same thing. Otherwise, my biggest challenge is to look like I'm focusing on the camera and not my cue sheet taped to the bottom of the lens. :) It's a pleasure to hear from you. I hope summer is good in New Zealand. While December has brought chilly days to Virginia, we've had it quite mild recently and have avoided all the snow that has hit both north and south of us. God bless, Scott Bosco Peters! Thanks for stopping by!

The stopping and starting cuts - I guess you can do that in a continuous video & then cut out the moves between them? So much to learn - so little time... A blessed Christmas season Bosco www.liturgy.co.nz Hi Scott

I think it is a good thing, too, that the church has a unified date (or at least time of year) for which we celebrate the advent of Jesus. Some brethern celebrate through January 6 or January 7 for various reasons. It is, after all, the Mass (sacred act of worship) for Christ, and not "Jesus' birthday". While they surely did their best, few ever fretted over the absolute exactness of the date. So I agree with you, and am also quite content with December 25th. Thanks again for stopping by!
