Lectionary for January 1-6

This is really more for me than for anyone else, but I'm trying to "cook" my own lectionary up. I've started a separate blog for any reflections I might have on the daily readings (http://www.twoyearlectionary.blogspot.com).

The basic principles I'm trying to aim at are:

--Through the NT once a year, Gospels and Acts 1+ (some repetition given church seasons)
--Through the OT once in two years
--Through the Psalms once a year + (some repetition in particular church seasons)
--Through the Proverbs once a year

I've decided to start January with John (selections from all four gospels will appear in December), Genesis, and Romans. Even my first try didn't come out quite right.

So this week's readings will be:

1.
Morning: Psalm 1; John 1:1-18

Evening: Genesis 1; Romans 1:1-7; Proverbs 1:1-6

2.
Morning: Psalm 2; John 1:19-34

Evening: Genesis 2; Romans 1:8-17; Prov. 1:7

3.
Morning: Psalm 3; John 1:35-51

Evening: Genesis 3; Romans 1:18-32; Prov. 1:8-14

4.
Morning: Psalm 4; John 2:1-12

Evening: Genesis 4; Romans 2:1-11; Prov. 1:15-19

5.
Morning: Psalm 5:1-6; John 2:13-22

Evening: Genesis 5; Rom. 2:12-16; Prov. 1:20-25

6.
Morning: Psalm 5:7-12; John 2:23-3:21

Evening: Genesis 6; Rom. 2:17-29; Prov. 1:26-30

7.
Morning: Psalm 6; John 3:22-36

Evening: Genesis 7; Rom. 3:1-8; Prov. 1:31-33
