An Introduction

Hello Readers! My name is William George, and I want to share a little bit about myself and about the reason I am writing this blog.

My beautiful wife and I are expecting our first child - a son - sometime this month, and it has been dawning on me that I need to be a good example to him. In many areas of my life I feel like I am prepared for this role; however, I am not in the best place spiritually right now. I've been a Christian for most of my life, ever since I invited Jesus to be my Lord and Savior as a child, but while I still attend church regularly I have not been reading the Bible or praying nearly as much as I should - to say nothing of being involved in a small group, Bible study, or any form of ministry.

In order to grow toward being a stronger Christian and a solid example to my son, I think that daily time in God's Word (the Bible) is probably the best starting point. I know a lot of folks who read and journal daily, but I'm afraid that writing in a notebook will be too hard to stay accountable with - plus I have pretty horrible handwriting. So instead I've decided to post my thoughts about what I read each day online; this way I can share this experience with anyone who cares to read this, and I will have a track record that I can go back and look at when it is all said and done.

My goal is to read one chapter a day, and write a paragraph or two as well. If you see me miss a day feel free to comment, and if you think I've misinterpreted something or you have insights into a given passage of scripture please share your thoughts too! In the course of this I'm sure I will post on other topics as well (our son's impending birth, for example, or other things that affect my life and my family) - so stay tuned and enjoy!
