Summer goals/UAoA update

So I've decided to try to write in my journal every day this month, and not worry about how much I write, but just write. I'm also reading Lord of the Rings, and trying to read some every day, but not any specified amount. I'd forgotten how much I like reading LotR, and how great it truly is. And I'm doing this 90 day reading plan for the New Testament, which is going well. It's basically just a few chapters every day, so not all that much. I think I might try to vlog every couple of days.
