Guest LadyC Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 hey, i have an idea though, climbing... even if you don't join facebook, you could sign up for a youversion.com account and set up your reading plan for the same dates, and you and i (and anyone else that wants) could be 'accountabilitiy patners'. it's a feature of youversion that you can opt in to, and it will forward your daily progress report to your partners. you can also keep notes and do soap formats there, and some people even have 'followers' who like to read your daily notes. much like what we'll be doing on fb...

Logging I think they called it. I'm not even sure why you'd want to be felling trees in cyberspace?? Wait -maybe this is like that sign 'in' thing. I didn't used to know any sign language before, but now all the sites these days want you to sign 'in' before they'll let you in. ) Anyway, I looked at the youversion site. They have a 'connect with Facebook' option. Does that mean that if a study group was set up in youversion, someone with a Fb account could set it to automatically copy the posts from the Facebook group?

WOW I don't If I can do that I want to though I'm going to pray and see if this is how God wants me to study his word for the next 90 days. But it sounds cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, you're so funny! but i think the connect with facebook thing is just a way of signing in. a lot of sites these days will let you 'sign in with facebook' rather than making you fill out the whole registration form. i'll check it out though, just in case!

Guest Butero Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You would have to read approximately 12 chapters a day to go through the entire Bible in 90 days. I have never done that. I have read straight through in 6 months a few times. That is quite a challenge, especially when you take the time to comment about something you have read. God's speed to those who commit to doing this. I may attempt it, but with my job, I am not sure it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LadyC Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 well come on then, join the group isaiah!! (or did you already?) i know you're on fb! candice, it took me a bit to figure out how to change the dates, too.... under the "my" menu, select "reading plans". click on "plan overview". (if you're doing more than one plan, make sure you do plan overview on the chronological plan!) now, in the big area right underneath the overview description, it should say "settings" and under that there should be a link to edit dates. in the first box, put july 21, 2011. in the second box put oct. 18, 2011, and make sure that it doesn't try to default the ending date to 2012 like it did on me!!
