Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 46

Workout- Cardio X
Bible Reading- Psalm 135 - Proverbs 6

I finally finished all of Psalms today. This is a book that is great to read each chapter individually on an occasional but it is really difficult to sit down and read all 150 chapters in a short time period. There is no narrative going on so it is really difficult for me to stay concentrated on what I was reading. I also had to tackle all 176 verses of Psalm 119 and I can honestly tell you that I have no idea what it was about. I think I spent the majority of that chapter wondering when it was going to be over, but it just kept going and going. Overall, I really do enjoy the Psalms, but I think they are better when you just read a few at a time. Since it is Sunday, I will leave one of my favorite Psalms on here for you to read. I hope it provides a good focus for you as we go to worship God today.

Psalm 149

1 Praise the Lord !

Sing to the Lord a new song.
Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.
O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.
3 Praise his name with dancing,
accompanied by tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.
Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths,
and a sharp sword in their hands—
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with shackles
and their leaders with iron chains,
9 to execute the judgment written against them.
This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.

Praise the Lord !

-Michael
