Begining Again

As most people are prone to do, I begin something, commit to a new goal, habit, lifestyle, or behavior change. And, it goes well for a few hours, days, weeks, months (depending on what it is I'm working on). And then something happens. Something throws me off my groove, breaks my stride. I fall on my face and remain there for hours, days, weeks, months, and sometimes, even years.

So, here I am: Struggling to remember the last time I "feasted" on the scriptures on any sort of regular basis(rather, I've been somewhat of a scriptural anorexic getting by on mere spiritual calories); Starving for routine and external enforcement for my lack of self discipline; Seeking what I once had; and Striving to begin again. So, here I am: starting an entire weblog in an effort to be more accountable to myself, my "food journal" (as it were) for my scripture study. And in the words of Moroni, I will, "begin as in times of old."

I make no commitments of reading duration, pages per day, etc. My only commitment is that I will read until I feel as though I have something to chew on for a while. And I will share my feasting here.
