In Sunday school we were talking about various plans to read through the scripture. Some people opted for the verse a day plan. This must be because they are so spiritual that they see the depths of every verse like few people do. i found varying results for the number of verses in the bible but it ranges from 31,102 to 31,174. Lets just round it off to a nice 31,000. Divide that by 365 days and you get 84.931 years. So it will take you approximately 85 years to read through the scriptures on the verse a day plan.
Conclusions:
1) This is not beyond the scope of human life as some suggested this plan would take thousands of years.
2) it is too late for anyone in our class to begin this plan so you better start looking for another.
Might I suggest the “intense plan”. It is said that the bible can be read aloud in 70 hours. So just take three days off from work, fast, get a big tub of water and a straw and read. After three days you will be done for the year; probably not with the bible, but for life. So maybe its not about quantity – one verse isn’t enough, and the whole bible at one sitting might be a bit too much. Maybe we should shoot for quality instead.
No Other Boast 
You failed to mention the “Osmosis Method”. You sleep with the bible under your pillow and all of that Godly goodness just seeps into your otherwise worldy and distracted brain while you sleep. So far, I’ve developed a neck ache from doing this and not much else, but I figure it’s just a matter of time before I start blurting out bible verses and random bits of Proverbial wisdom.

Well Greg is definitely too old to start that plan but I could start it and be pretty close to finishing if I live to be about 105

I don’t think I could put up the whole plans because that would take up a lot of space. I don’t want to post the weekly readings for all four separate plans because that would take a lot of time. If there is a plan that a lot of you are reading then I might post that. If there are more requests via comments to this post for a particular plan it will be done.
