Subscribe to 365-Day ESV-SB Reading Feed

M'Cheyne was a Scottish minister who designed a 365-day Bible reading plan to take readers through the NT and Psalms twice yearly, and the rest of the OT annually.

I started following this daily schedule when my discipler Irene gave me D.A. Carson's For the Love of God on my birthday.

In these two volumes, Carson slightly modifies the M'Cheyne readings by tweaking reading boundaries in four places and by giving readers the option of halving the pace. He also offers helpful commentary and insightful reflection on one of each day's passages.

Ben Edgington has designed a server for making the daily readings available as online feeds. I wrote him to request that he add the ESV Online Study Bible as an additional source and he did today. Way cool -- Thanks, Ben.

M'Cheyne + Carson + ESV SB have been for me valuable and practical tools in the study of God's word, so I wanted to share it here in hopes that it'll be one less excuse for you too. I'll be using this.

I like playing with the wax from Babybel's!

Where Should I Be Now?

If God had granted
All the silly prayers I
Have made in my life...

C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm.

When We Ask of God

Sometimes He gives.
Or not.
Or even takes away. And lets wander. And fall (ouch).

We perceive this as His withholding a kindness -- God being unkind. And unGod.
We deceive ourselves and think Him absent. Where is He? And why won't He do something?

Perhaps we were not yet in a place where His "kindness" would have led us to repentance (Romans 2:4).
We up and repent.

Ah, so it was kindness, after all.

These Days

My brain cramps up when I try to write. Ouches.

The Obamanable Snowman

I was trying to rush home from the 1 after "A Tale of Two Cities" to catch the post-election coverage when suddenly all these windows open people are sticking out their heads cheering yelling OBAMAAAAA and all sorts of madness at neighbors, the sky. It is really quite cool as I live across from a converted housing project with 1200 apartment units inside. Already his name and image are uniting the proletariat. Even Taylor was off the walls when we got home but then I realized she just wanted to pee.

Picked up Broadway's "Carols for a Cure." November means it's almost time for Christmas songs, yay!
