<h2>reading plans were dragging me through the Bible instead of guiding me </h2>
<p>Every church, every Christian group I've been in, they say you should read through the Bible once a year. As someone who deeply enjoys arbitrary structure and prebuilt curriculums (<a href="https://wiki.blessfrey.me/view/Course">I take online classes for fun</a>), I eagerly embraced this idea. I have used several plans, probably most often the <a href="https://static.crossway.org/excerpt/1-esv-study-biblereading-plan.3.pdf">one in the back of my Bible</a>. As worthy as it was, this exercise often discouraged meditation. </p>
<p>I live USA and dabble in lots of things - webdev, gamedev, programming, sewing, pattern-making, drawing, and creative writing, to name a few. Some of my projects are shared on here. Others may be lurking on <a href="https://chimchooree.itch.io/">itch.io (chimchooree)</a> and <a href="https://gitlab.com/chimchooree">GitLab (chimchooree)</a>, though most never see the light of day. </p>
