DONE!

With 4 days to spare! I am soooooo thankful that I was able to have the time and determination to finish this goal this year. I don't remember how far I got the first time I tried this but I know in 2010 I had already given up by March because I was so far behind. I don't know if I will ever try this again, maybe. I know next time I read all the scriptures I want it to be at a pace where I can really absorb more of what is being said. So it might not be in just one year.

Tomorrow I start Book of Mormon again and figure out what lesson manual is being used for Gospel Doctrine and work on that lesson and begin memorizing everything! Ok well not everything everything, but currently my list is 100 scripture mastery, the proclamation and some other scriptures that I like, which is lots.

25.25

That is how many pages a day I need to read for the rest of the year. Not many babies due and no deadlines for school so I think this should be do-able. I can read 25 pages a day. I read that many in novels easy and while it takes longer to read scriptures it should still be possible. And I am going to read extra on Sundays and there are 3 Sundays left, though one is Christmas. And sadly I already read the Christmas stories in the Bible. Maybe I haven't read the Book of Mormon one yet.... We'll see. Anyway, should totally be able to do this. 631 pages in 25 days! Theoretically I could read that in 3 days. 200 pages a day is technically possible if I could stay focused....

Off to finish Revelations before working on my projects for the day. That'll be half my needed pages for today. Then I can choose from BofM, D&C or Abraham for my other pages!

24.2

That's how many pages a day I am at for starting tomorrow and finishing on Dec 31st.... 33 a day for starting 12/10. So I have done *some* reading since the last post cuz I was at 36 a day. I think I will be reading lots on Sunday this week. My collage will have to wait, possibly til next year. I am no longer reading footnotes beyond JST and am not pretending to comprehend it all at this point, but I am determined to finish. Next year i will read for comprehension.

I realize it may seem pointless to do it if I am not being able to absorb it all. And it could just be pride that is fueling my determination. But reading slower and looking stuff up just sounds like a pansy pants excuse out of my goal. AGAIN. I have made it further than I ever have before by lots and lots, but my years are only going to get busier from here on out...
