Read one book from the Bible each day for 30 days.

When it comes to blogging, you could mix it up and experiment with different attitudes every day: skeptical, worshipful, irreverent, curious, dogmatic.

You decide how you want to pick them: set schedule; randomly; spontaneously; by length of the book; according to genre (wisdom, prophecy, history, poetry, letters); chronologically but spaced out; etc.

See what childhood memories come up, confront them, and transcend them.

It would be challenging, you'd get a lot of variety, and you'd have plenty of stuff to write, rant, or reflect about.

I think it would also have broad appeal, regardless of religious or philosophical preference. And to whatever extent you announce your plans, people could follow along.
