Dr. Grant Horner's Reading Plan is no longer working on my laptop.

Fellow Logosians, I have been using the Bible reading plan put forth by Dr. Grant Horner since November 11, 2014 (and thoroughly enjoying it). About 2 months ago, instead of 10 chapters to read each day, I noticed that "Acts" had dropped out of the plan. Late in January the Gospels decided to leave the plan as well. TODAY when I attempted to do my scheduled readings, I was horrified to find ALL of the readings had decided to jump ship. So, I was going to recompile the list and start anew. Alas, even the files had disappeared from Logos. I then went to the Faithlife Groups and was able to reconnect the files. However, when trying to recompile the list only 7 of the 10 showed up. AND when I looked on the sidebar of the homepage, it said that I had completed the reading plan. I thought that this was to be a perpetually ongoing plan. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so what was your solution?

I have really, really, really enjoyed this plan of Bible readings and would love to continue it again.

Oh NO!

I originally had put the files into the faithlife group. I am sorrowful that they have disappeared. I no longer use Dr Horner's plan and no longer have access to my own copy of the files either. But there are a few threads on here about how I set it up.

Horner's Reading Plan

Part of the "problem" I suspect is that is literally has no termination date. The homer plan is an open ragged edge. No matter how many iterations you run through there is no time within 150 years that all the readings end at the same time. I put it through a spreadsheet to test it out. That doesn't make it impossible but it does fly in the face of Logos current reading plan generation which maxes out at 1500 iterations.

TC, the files are still on the Faithlife page and they download to the computer just fine. However, when I tried to compile them...that's when things went wrong. Only 7 of the 10 lists would even show up in the group and then those seven indicated that I had completed the reading plan...I going to see if I can list them individually each day (that just takes up a lot of real estate in the sidebar...if all else fails, I can see if I can dump them to a calendar program and go from there.

I remember when you first posted Horner's plan and I was thrilled to put it into my morning routine. Thank you for your help.

Bill,

If you create a new reading plan, choose the CUSTOM reading plan and then one by one add the individual Horner section files to it. IIRC you can then delete the individual plans and only use the custom plan you created.

I'm still in the process of compiling a new custom reading plan. I am also going to try something different this time. I'm creating 2 custom reading plans (Horner 1 and Horner 2). Horner 1 is list 1-5 and Horner 2 is list 6-10. I will read one group in the morning and one group in the evening instead of working/reading through all 10 chapters at once. Thanks to TC Black for saving the files to Faithlife so that, hopefully, many others can benefit from this reading plan.
