Monday Mind Maneuver 2

Today's MMM is another cryptogram, mainly because it's an easy fallback thing for me to come up with so quickly for this morning.

Monday Mind Maneuver 1

Just for fun, I thought I'd do a fun, start-of-the-work-week brain booster, which I hereby officially name the Monday Mind Maneuver (and I cannot tell you how difficult it was to find a word beginning with M that actually worked there to complete the necessary three-fold alliteration).  I'll try a whole bunch of little things here to get your mind going, perhaps with riddles, cryptograms, logic questions, research dissertations, and the like.

Today's MMM is a cryptogram.  In case you're not familiar with cryptograms, this is a phrase wherein all of the letters have been substituted by a different letter.  For today's cryptogram, your clue is H = L.

2011 E-Book Challenge

The 2011 E-Book Challenge is being hosted by The Ladybug Reads. I don't have an e-reader except for an app I downloaded to my computer from Google called "Reader Library" that allows me to download and read books from the Sony ReaderStore, including access to the free public domain books from Google Books.

Click the image above to go to the site of the challenge host for more information and to sign up for the challenge.  I am going to start small and try for the "Curious" Level (read 3 e-books), but I may surprise myself and reach one of the higher levels: Fascinated (6), Addicted (12), or Obsessed (20).


Books I've Read for the
2011 E-Book Challenge

1. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
2. Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

Bible in a Year 2011

Bible in a Year


With a fresh year ahead of me, I pray that this will be the year I read the Bible all the way through and hope to grow closer to God and learn more about Him and my role in His kingdom in the process.  Using the plan from the Bible Reading website, I am once again going to attempt to read the Bible in a year (BiaY). 

Last year I started out really well until I started missing a day here and there and trying to catch myself up before missing a few days.  Before long I had missed whole books and then abandoned the effort entirely, going right back to where I started.

At the top of my sidebar on top of the rest of my reading challenges this year is my tracker for the BiaY.  I am tracking it by number of chapters read (out of a total of 1189 chapters in the King James Version).  Fortunately the ubiquity of the Bible in many places makes missing a reading difficult to accomplish: I have used my pocket Bible, BibleGateway, and the Bible reading plan website to catch up on my reading in the past.  So, admittedly, I have no excuse to not do this.

Feel free to join in with me, too.  I need the extra accountability and support.
