Beginning Nov. 15th (the beginning of the Advent/Nativity Fast), we will once again be embarking on our annual challenge event to read through the entire New Testament (aloud) by Christmas! This is a great endeavor and exercise and you should join it! Read with your spouse as an Advent discipline!
Join the many of us who do this every year and prosper your soul in the effort. You won’t be the same. Remember, we begin Nov. 15th!
If you are a veteran of this event, you can see that the schedule is quite a bit different this year. For those who would prefer the old New Testament Challenge schedule, you can still get it by, CLICKING HERE.
The New Testament Challenge is going to be a tradition here at Good Guys Wear Black. We invite you to join us in this 40 day offering and make more time for the reading of Holy Scripture this Advent.

I use Astrid to track to-do lists on my smart phone. If anyone is interested, I’ve created a list of tasks for the 2011 Challenge.
It’s a public list, but you’ll need Astrid on your iPhone or Android device:”

“The New Testament Challenge is going to be a tradition here at Good Guys Wear Black. We invite you to join us in this 40 day offering and make more”
Make more what?
It should have read – “and make more time for the reading of Holy Scripture this Advent.”
And now it does. Thanks!
