Reading List Start Date

When I add the M'Cheyne Reading Plan, it lets me choose a start date of Jan 1.  Then when I click on Catch Up - it skips all the readings from Jan 1 to today.  I just want to start the reading as of today.

Please help.

Thank you and God bless! :)

    I'm not sure if you can do that for the M'Cheyne. I tested it just now, and even though it has "Jan 1" as an apparently selectable value - when you click it, the calendar pops up and acts like you can change the date, it never actually accepts the date you select. I'm not sure if that's a bug or just the way it is.

    *However* You can try this. After you create the reading plan based on the predefined M'Cheyne plan, create *another* new reading plan - this one a *custom* reading plan. When that comes up, click the "Add" button at the top of the window, choose "Another Reading Plan," and then pick the M'Cheyne plan you just created. When that plan is added, it defaults to "start today," with today's date as the first day for reading. Click "Done" (at the right), and you'll have a complete reading plan.

    I just walked through that, and I think that will accomplish what you want, though I haven't actually used one that way.

    Hope this helps,

    I don't think that you can.

    I have been using Rev'd M'Cheyne's plan for a number of years, and while I don't know how he designed it, it does flow with the seasons of the Christian year in very subtle ways. I would have missed a lot of relevant nuances had I shifted it out of sync.

    I strongly recommend that you use the plan – just pick up where it starts today and keep going for a year.

    In this case try being untidy and fighting that OCD that makes you want to start everything at the beginning - in this case you will garner spiritual blessings.

    This cycle I am reading the 'For everyone' series alongside two of the reading, one Old Testament (Goldingay) and one New Testament (Wright) and am learning a lot.

    Mike - I didn't know that about the M'Cheyne plan!  Maybe that's why they've built the program the way they did.  I will take your advice and just start from today and go on from there.

    Thanks again!

    God bless!
