var fbShare = {url: ‘http://www.benreed.net/index.php/2010/01/07/building-in-accountability/’,size:’large’} I’m reading through the Bible in a year.  I’ve done this before.  Started a “Read Through the Bible in a Year” plan, only to make it to the first part of February.
It’s not that I quit reading my Bible.  I just quit the plan.
So I’ve started with The Chronological [...]

p.s. This year, we’re going to pray, [...]

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://www.benreed.net/index.php/2009/12/22/dont-leave-home-without-it/’,size:’large’} Are there certain things in your life that you absolutely can’t live without?
I don’t mean philosophical, feel-good things like, “Love” or “Happiness” or “Family” or “Jesus” (ok, well…I do mean those, but let’s put those, more important things, to the side for a moment).  Don’t get all “spiritual” on [...]

Very few, if any, weddings are complete without a goof-up, or [...]

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://www.benreed.net/index.php/2009/08/03/how-not-to-lead-a-small-group/’,size:’large’} Listening is an important aspect of leading a small group.  I even mentioned it in a recent post HERE.  Actively listening, asking appropriate follow-up questions, noticing body language, and helping people understand the heart of the issue being discussed are all part of facilitating discussion in a small group [...]

var fbShare = {url: ‘http://www.benreed.net/index.php/2009/05/30/whats-this-blog-about/’,size:’large’} My blog may seem random to you.  And if that’s what you think it is…you’re probably right.  In talking with successful bloggers, I’m often told that I should choose one or two things to blog about, and blog at least a couple of times a week about each of [...]
