Are you a new reader on this blog?

We are following a plan to read through the bible in one year. you don't have to worry if you fall behind or if you are starting late. Start at the beginning or, if you already started, pick up where you left off and follow along.
People just starting this goal often get bogged down in details, go slow, and eventually quit because it's to hard to reach the end. Remember that it doesn't have to be in one year. When you fall behind just keep going. As you get used to reading you will find yourself going faster and farther and may even catch up.
The first time I did this it took me over 18 months. The last time it took just over 2 months. This time I'm pacing myself to 1 year so others can follow along. Join the quest

the other resolutions

I am down to 235.6# this week. Not bad considering the Super Bowl snacking. We decided to try the Splenda with fiber. Splenda is a wonderful sweetener without the problems of other artificial sweeteners. It doesn't fool your system or cause complications. It's made from more natural sources. Stevia is also good but most stevia based sweeteners maintain a licorice like flavor from the plant. It's not an offensive taste and can be good in coffee but may interfere with other flavors in foods your trying to sweeten.

The splenda with fiber becomes and extra source of fiber in your diet. Fiber offsets some of the fat and calories in food so additional fiber can help your diet. Benefiber is also nice. I got the chance to try some samples of the Benefiber in my food. It didn't change the flavor or texture of hot or cold food or beverages but added a couple grams of healthy fiber.

Just some info for those, like me, fighting the battle of the bulge.
