I’m planning to read a minimal of 4 chapters a day in 2026, so can finish the NLT within a year. But, getting a tiny head start. I forgot how the Bible is not fun especially the brutality of the Old Testament, but New Testament is also brutal except to me remember it having more moments of peace & love. Anyways, still in Genesis and yeah it’s refresher there’s a lot of cringe moments.
