Annette at Fish and Cans writes about how she’s decided to conduct her Bible study on her blog to help keep her on track:
For the last two years I have followed a bible reading plan. And though I have found it helpful in getting me to read through the bible over the course of a year, I have found that I can’t just focus on something without breaking away from the plan, and then of course I get off track with reading.
To combat that a bit, last year I had started a private bible study with a couple of ladies, but that ended up not working out too well due to a variety of reasons. So when I was pondering what to do, I thought hmmm… why don’t I restart that bible study, but do it here. I do so love in-depth bible study. I love doing one-on-one bible studies, but have, as of yet, not found someone in my local area to do one with.
Maybe posting your reactions to your Bible reading on your blog will help you read the Bible consistently this year. Annette is working through 1 Thessalonians at her own pace. Similarly, you don’t need to blaze through the Bible just so you can say you read it in a year. You may find that you prefer reading the Bible at a more deliberate speed, meditating on and trying to understand shorter passages. And that’s OK.
Going back to a post on the Bible and its Authority, I want to start something that was suggested at the ESV Bible Blog – post here with thoughts, comments and questions from my scripture reading/meditating through the year….

Somebody already beat me to this idea, but I am going to go for it anyway. I have never done the ‘read through the Bible in a year’ thing. I have wanted to, have never gotten around to it, but I am going for it this year….
