But now I think differently. I joined three challenges this year because they centered around goals I had already made for myself. The challenges keep me somewhat accountable and I like that.hopeinbrazilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842290165385823751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-14478337612142917232009-04-22T11:52:00.000-05:002009-04-22T11:52:00.000-05:00I am a regular reader (love the Wednesday question...I am a regular reader (love the Wednesday questions) but not much of a commenter. This questions fits into something I was thinking about. I am in about ten challenges and don't seem to be having a problem keeping up. So, to myself I said - perhaps I need a Bible Challenge to get myself to read the Bible more? I read a few verses or chapters with my morning devotions but that's it.<br /><br />One idea I came up with was to challenge myself to learn, in depth, about particular people in the Bible. I like character studies so this appealed to me. I also like your idea of concentrating on one particular book in the Bible. I've tried and failed many times to read the Bible through in one year. That's one challenge I can't do.<br /><br />But I'm with you on a challenge. I need it.Margothttp://joyfullyretired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-7300926183198112262009-04-21T18:43:00.000-05:002009-04-21T18:43:00.000-05:00I've never had the opportunity, but would love to ...I've never had the opportunity, but would love to give a mini-challenge a try to see if i'm up to it.Sherrylinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617337906754334519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-87100859493237924102009-04-21T15:17:00.000-05:002009-04-21T15:17:00.000-05:00I did a whole lot more challenges when I started b...I did a whole lot more challenges when I started blogging than I do now. I almost never finished them and always felt disappointed in myself at the end. Silly! <br /><br />So now I think I have 4 or 5 challenges going, but nothing overwhelming. One takes place over 5 years. 2 others are over 1 year. It makes it easier when there aren't stringent time constraints. <br /><br />I would definitely be up for some mini-challenges...I like the idea of doing some Christian fiction or even non-fiction. I'm sure I'll sign up for whatever you decide on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-81469725649863386332009-04-21T11:53:00.000-05:002009-04-21T11:53:00.000-05:00I sign up for reading challenges and I proceed wit...I sign up for reading challenges and I proceed with the challenges but fall down on the documenting of them. Its like, "ok, where did I put the the master list." As far as Christian Fiction reading challenges I might be up for a mini challenge. I get about 20 minutes a day for reading so I don't get near as much read as I wold like.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.com
