Reading Proverbs
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Done. (This has been part of a complete reading of the Bible.)
Go ahead and copy me, Christian bloggers. Post reading progress of a book. Any book. A Biblical book or any other book. I don't have it registered or copyrighted. In my previous internet existence one thing I found the internet to be practically useful for was for creating incentive for doing and finishing projects. When you post progress of a project it creates incentive to continue with it and finish it. A reconciling force, if you will, to overcome inevitable friction in the midst of a project. I, in the spring of '02, read the complete works of Shakespeare (and I mean complete, including poetry and plays dubiously ascribed to him and even including fragments of plays) and blogged my progress for a both hostile and friendly audience. I basically, for each play, had a little template I drew up where I would write some intro material for each play I started on, then I summarized each scene of each act as I read them, then I wrote a general summary of the play after reading it. I also wrote down all the characters to just get them in mind, etc., etc. Then I'd move on to the next play. Until I'd read them all. All along the hostile audience was waiting for me to give up in the middle of the project, so that gave me incentive to soldier on. I wanted to be a good example to the friendly part of the audience too. To walk my talk, so to speak, regarding making real efforts and sticking with projects until they're finished. I would do the same with projects involving practical level practices of the Faith. I did alot of 40 day efforts. Make the internet useful; this is one way it can be made practically useful...

Pull a book down off the shelf and read it. Burke's Enquiry. That's a short one, and a good one to have in you. You have no interest is such a work? Good! Then it's perfect for you. To expand your limits you have to provoke your limits...
