First off in response to an email from Todd I should clarify and say that it is this Flutter as in “FlutterByYou” and not “FlutterByFlyBy3”. As Flutter mentioned in some of her past posts here, she has been losing her eye sight and is awaiting corrective laser eye surgery to restore her failing vision. Until then she is having a hard time using the computer due to the increased eye strain and resulting headaches that result from it. I talked with her over the phone last night and will continue to do so and her request will keep everybody else on 43T up to date on what is going on at her end.

How I did it: I used a computer program to generate a month reading schedule that took chapter length into consideration. Each day for the month I slowly read through the day's reading aloud as a prayer to God while taking in the beauty of the Hebrew poetry in the process. Read how I did it…
Or it will be tomorrow when the last package that I ordered is scheduled for delivery. True there is at least homemade gift project which has “some assembly and creation required” but at least that is something that I can do at home without having to go out into the holiday madness of pagan consumerism under the false pretense of being in the name of a high holy day.
Personally I hate crowded stores and malls when everybody is going crazy with the holiday shopping. So like usual I want to have it out of the way before the madness starts, but unlike other years I have yet to have gotten started so it looks like I had better be doing something about it really soon.
