While reading the verses is exciting - the work of putting the finished project together is quite a bit of work.

 

It would be nice to do this more often than we have - but, practicality and available time has to be factored in.

I strongly agree. The collaborative bible reading can be very fun. 

We could agree on a set date maybe every month or twice a month.

Trying to avoid this topic because I am really struggling with motivation... but also want to vote for Ruth as it's my favorite book... nngh.

I didn't intend to imply that I was willing and voting, just that I've been thinking about it... but now social anxiety and obligation impels me and I must comply.

Just an idea if we'll decide to do Memorial reading (it could be!).

 

If we would record all the portions for reading before it'll start and when it'll start, post them everyday till the Memorial day? For example, reading starts on 2nd of April. Then that portion which is set for that day (Mark 14:3-9) would be uploaded there. And so on.

That’s a great suggestion, Irmantas! Trickier, but a good way to do it. I’ll wait a bit longer until the end of today for more suggestions and ideas, then we’ll decide what reading we’re doing. It’s already 5:22pm here, but I have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up. 😁

Alex, don’t feel pressured to participate this time around, please. I’m just happy for your input. Think about it, but it’s ok if you skip this one too.

If you want to do something different and original try 1 Chronicles 1 or 2.

Memorial reading would be most beneficial in my opinion

[hatcheckgirl]

As far as verses go, there are 185 verses in the Memorial Bible reading. 
 

Book of Ruth has 85 verses.

But we have a lot of readers and I guess most of us wants to read more than one or two verses. Just my thinking

@hatcheckgirl Seeing how the Memorial is coming up soon enough,  I vote for the Memorial  Bible reading. 

then after that I vote for Ruth.  And that's how I vote twice.

 

@intercore ,  it's been my experience that not all donuts are created equally, so who has the best donuts or donut ideas?

 

oh no,  is this topic getting taken over by donuts....?
