Bible Reading Plans for 2011

I don't care what kind of a Bible reading plan you use. I just care that you have a plan.The New Year is coming and this is a good time to create a plan for how you will regularly get your face into the Word of God in 2011.I change up what I do every year. This past year I camped out in the Psalms. I read through the entire book of Psalms every two months. Other than preaching/teaching prep, that was the only Bible reading I did this year. This year I felt drawn to devote myself to slow, meditative reading and prayer in the Psalms. It was a rich year of Bible reading for me! (Some of you would love doing what I did this past year: read Eugene Peterson's Answering God and then spend the year reading and praying the Psalms).Twenty days ago I got excited about doing something new and went ahead and started on a fresh new Bible reading plan that I will continue on throughout 2011: Grant Horner's Bible Reading Plan. This is an ambitious plan, much different from what I did this last year. About three weeks in, I'm really enjoying working through a lot of Scripture every day. I especially like that I will work through Proverbs and Acts every month. Surprisingly, this plan doesn't feel like a task to get through. I'm loving it. I'm meeting with Jesus every morning through this plan. The reading tends to take me just 30 minutes. Then I typically spend another 5-10 minutes meditating on and praying through a verse or two that particularly struck me from my reading.God gave us the Bible so that we could know and enjoy him. The Bible is God speaking to you, the living and active words of God written down on paper. I don't care what kind of a plan you use, but decide on some sort of a plan that will put you in regular contact with God's Word in 2011. I've given you two ideas. Google "Bible reading plans" and you'll get 200 more ideas.What Bible reading plan do you currently follow?
