My favorite verses from the Bible

This is more for me than you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last year I made a goal to read the entire Bible in less than 365 days.  I did it in about 325.  And I read it in date chronological order of when it was written, not in order it is found in the Bible.


It was very interesting and now I can say to myself that I have read all the works of the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.  I am glad I did it.

While I was reading, I took notes of verses that stuck out to me.  Maybe not the whole verse, but something within it.  I have been dragging the scratch paper around with me that I took notes on for the last few months.  I decided that as one of my new year goals, I would write them on the blog, since it serves as my journal of sorts.

This year my goals include
eating less sugar

exercising at least two times a week

writing down all the names of everyone who is recorded as having personally interacted with Jesus Christ (so far, up to Matthew 10, I have 31 different people or groups)



and recording in a notebook every single day 5 things I am thankful for (ironically, buddy Lori called me the day after I made this goal to tell me that she had made me a journal of gratitude for Christmas...see, meant to be).

Gotta go....have a dark chocolate truffle waiting for me.  :) 


For the gratitude journal today, truffles.  :)  This isn't a eat less sugar day, I guess. :)
