  1. Jimmy I am always so impressed by your work, your writing, and sharing! This however is the best topic, great reasons as well as simply educating on how to make the seemingly impossible possible! What I mean is it is something that is easy to look at as overwhelming and or not enough time to actually get done! I love the variety of options and easy to validate how something that seems hard is not a hard to do task at all…… The rewards are countless! Thank you 🙏🏻

  2. Loved your reasons for completing this goal. I read the Bible through a few times. I think I might need to do it again.

  3. I try to read the Bible daily, but it takes me longer than a year to complete. Your reasons are absolutely on target, Jimmie, and inspire me to expand my time in His Word. Wishing you a healthy, happy and blessed New Year.
