A New Year's Resolution...

...that I've been meaning to accomplish for a while is to read through the entire Bible, front to back, cover to cover, Genesis all the way to Revelations. But I've always gotten side-tracked and run out of time or simply forgot to make room for Bible-time in my day.

I've decided to do a blog about my Bible-reading adventures, which will include my thoughts about what I've read, etc. But before you hear my thoughts on the Bible, you might want to know a bit of my background:

As the title implies, I am a Roman Catholic convert (formerly non-denominational Protestant) who became Catholic a few years ago (March 22nd, 2008, to be precise). I am also a college student who has had my fair share of vices and temptations thrown at me. I'm not going to go into specifics of what I have or have not done, but rest assured it's bad enough to make a priest go into hard-core judge mode during one Reconciliation. While I am a fiscal conservative, I tend to be pretty liberal on the social issues (with the exception of things like abortion, which I stand firmly agains). We will have to see what I have to say about things when I get to Lev 18:22...

Anyways, if you would like to read along with me, please do because I think there can be a lot of awesome discussions stem from this, and I hope they do. In any case, here is my schedule (for January):
