Why do we wait until January to make resolutions? The word resolution means “a firm decision to do or not to do something.” Is there something you have been putting off? Or maybe there is something you have not been able to stop doing. Either way, why wait? Carpe Diem … Seize the Day! Memorial Day is next week so why not make a Memorial Day Resolution. 

Why am I encouraging you to do this? Last May, I “made a resolution” to use the LWML plan, Read Through the Bible in One Year. I made the decision to start this program the following month in June 2023 and finish in June 2024 right before the end of my term as President. I am so glad I did! I have read through the entire Bible before, but the way these readings are paired together enhanced my reading and overall understanding of the Bible. 

This program can be found on the LWML website at lwml.org/posts/free-resources/read-through-the-bible-in-one-year.
