Operation Actually Celebrates Eight Years!

I started Operation Actually Read Bible on June 8, 2008. In the first post, I shared how I was "challenging myself to ACTUALLY read the Bible instead of just talking about how I need to start one day soon." Later that year--in December--I shared my goals for the blog, "To be both a bookish blog and a non-bookish blog. On the one hand it's a place for keeping track of my own Bible reading and my reading in Christian fiction and Christian nonfiction. But on the other hand, it's a place for me to journal, to be myself, to share my thoughts, ideas, etc. with others. I'd like to post every day. But if that isn't possible--isn't realistic--then I'm hoping for at least three or four posts a week. I'd like it to be consistent enough that I can build a readership here."
