Discipline
I few weeks ago, we were encouraged to get into reading our bibles more. This is a huge challenge to me, as my discipline for this is generally awful, and my bible reading can at times be sporadic. So, over the next couple of years, to try and keep a bit more discipline, I'm going to be joining a few people at church in following a bible reading plan which covers the whole bible in 1 or 2 years (I'm going for the two year option - a couple of chapters a day is about the right amount of reading for me I think).
The plan we're following is by McCheyne, and can be found here. To follow in 1 year you read all four columns, and to follow in 2 years you do the first two columns one year, and the 3rd and 4th columns in the 2nd year.
Anyway, I hope that this will help me be more disciplined, especially with encouragement from others. I'll probably put the odd post on how I'm getting on with it up here. If I don't, give me a nudge to make sure I've not given up.

PS. Not read pages at the site, so don't know what it's like overall. I just googled to find a site with the reading plan on.
Sounds like a good idea.
By coincidence, the Christian group where I work are promoting a bible-in-a-year thing next year; my wife and I are going to try to follow it. Hope it goes well!
Good idea to increase bible reading. I struggled with this for years, but found studying it and meditating on it helped me to read it more - you really get into it then. I find stuff doesn't go in too much if you're just giving it a once-over.
