BOM Challenge...Where you at? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I just finished 2nd Nephi before soccer practices last night.

Starting Jacob during my break here at work today.

If Jacob Ch. 5 doesn't prove the Joseph Smith is a Prophet and didn't make this stuff up, then nothing does.

Sound in on where you are at folks...

I have a challenge (not a bet, because we can't do that anymore) with my oldest daughter. (She is 13) If I finish first, she has to take me to lunch at Olive Garden. If she finishes first, I have to take her to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. (I will end up paying if I win too, but she is sure motivated right now.)

But we read lots of chapters with the kids, so we get an unfair advantage.

I'm motoring along. 3rd chapter of 1st Nephi.

2 Nephi 10 heading into the part we told investigators to skip and come back to later.

If you are reading two chapters a day and want to finish on Dec 31, today should be 2 Nephi 14-15.

At that pace, you should be done by, what, 2007? Nice work.

I'm at 2 Nephi 10, getting ready to head into the black hole of the BOM. At 5 pages a day, could be a rough 3 days.

You win AND you have to go to the Olive Garden? Sounds like a no-win situation to me.

MikeWaters · 09-21-2005, 08:01 PM

I have the same contest with my son. So far I'm 3 chapters ahead.

We are still in 1 Nephi, Nephi is about to break his bow ... we'll catch up though!
