Today's the first official day of our 60-day challenge. There are 531 pages in the Book of Mormon, plus, there are 7 intro pages, so in all, 538 pages. The challenge runs 60 full days and will end on September 2nd, therefore, we'll each need to read just under 9 pages per day. Be sure to stay on top of it because days missed will stack up fast! President Eyring said, "Learning to start early and to be steady are the keys to spiritual preparation. Procrastination and inconsistency are its mortal enemies." (Ensign, November 2005) That's why I love challenges like this, they remind me of the importance of steady diligence in all we do....especialy in the work of the Lord!
To be on track, we should all have completed the intro pages and have read through page 2. Remember also, it never hurts to "lay up in store" and get yourself ahead for a busy day in the future when you don't have as much time to get through all 9 pages. And please, feel free to share any of your thoughts or insights as you go along so that we can all grow and learn something new together.
Happy reading; Happy feasting; Happy remembering!
