ELEVENTH IN LINE

About My Family
My mom is a
lawyer in Pickerington; my stepdad and dad are computer guys, and my stepmom (who works with my dad) is an engineer. My sisters are, in order of age, a photographer, an artist, and a person too young to have her own website.

The Book of Mormon Challenge  
So... like, three months ago (four months ago? a long, long time ago...), President Hinckley said everyone should read the Book of Mormon before the end of the year. I was kind of in my soul-killing job at the time, and had ironically gotten about halfway through Helaman before that job started, and then totally (TOTALLY) slacked off. As in, I read up to Helaman 8 in 5 weeks, and didn't read at all after that.

I've spent the last three months (or whatever it was) debating whether to start over from the beginning or from where my old Seminary scripture mastery bookmark is sitting (which is where I left off.) Today I decided to enlist the assistance of Excel and determined that if I read 4 chapters a day, I'll be done before Christmas (even counting the testimony of the three and eight witnesses as separate chapters, 4 chapters a day gets you to December 14th if you started today.) Soooo... I'm starting over from the beginning. ^_^ Just finished 1 Nephi 4.

And, since I'm starting over, I'm also working on a project I thought up a while ago... I've long noticed those "study bibles" and "bible for teens" and whatnot, and decided I should create a personalized version of the scriptures for ME. I can make the font nice and readable, I can put whatever notes I want in the margins, etc. So I'm starting with the Book of Mormon (conveniently, one of the volumes NOT thoroughly covered in the "study bible" market;) I'm trying to do the initial formatting at the same rate I read it (four chapters per day,) which means that I'm actually reading each verse... well, at least 1.5 times, and more likely 2 or 3 times, each day.

We'll see if those promises (re: greater measure of faith, etc.) hold up. ^_^

Good for you. I suspect you'll get a lot out of this experience.

I know I did when I retypeset the Book of Mormon text into paragraph form.
