Back into the swing of things

I'm needing a little better Bible study an accountability in my life, so I'm getting back into keeping this blog as my bible study. This isn't meant to be some kind of evangelical outreach, but my personal journal. I say that because I felt in the past like that is what this blog had become.

There are going to be a few differences to my past approaches.

1. I'm going to be following the ESV Study Bible Plan, which I found, thanks to Ligonier Ministries.
2. While I'll be listing the scriptures read, I may not link to them, as has been done in the past, but feel free to look them up on a source, like BibleGateway. I will be using e-Sword most days as I'll be doing mine before class starts.
3. I'll be following a method (S.O.A.P.) gained from Creative Bible Study, which I stumbled across while looking for a plan for one of the kids in my church's youth group. 
• Scripture
• Observations
• Application
• Prayer

Keep me in your prayers as I delve deeper into God's word and try to further cement my relationship with Him. Be praying for my wife as well, as God's used her to be the catalyst for this delving, something which I am immensely grateful for and rather abashed that I had been slacking on.
