Somewhere off surfing the web I read about the Hinckley Challenge. I think I read that over 30,000 people have already signed up. President Hinckley was the prophet for a long, long time & in honor of his recent death, a challenge was given to read the Book of Mormon in 97 days (one day for each of his 97 years). I am taking the challenge (and I must confess that I am 46.6 pages behind!!!). I have started listening to the Book of Mormon as I drive around town. In one day I made swift progress -- probably 30 pages! If I counted pure reading-with-my-eyes reading then I would probably not finish, but if I can read with my ears, I think I can finish!
One of my life-regrets is not completing the challenge to read a few years ago given in October conference. I feel like this is my time to make up for lost time.
Happy weekend!
