Feel Free to Ask Questions!
So, I remember my second post to this blog was made on November 24, and it was a longer post telling about our cause. Now, the four of us were considering a website at one time but decided against it. A lot of organizations have an "About Us" section on their website. However, we don't, because this is a blog not just a general website. So what we'll do is that if you have questions for us, please ask them in the comments and we will answer them. I try to check this blog every day and will try to give you an answer as soon as I'm able. I'm not asking you to ask questions, I just want to advertise that we will accept them and answer them. Thank you, and have a great day! ~ Chandler S.

O Come, O Come, O Bibles
During the Christmas season is a great time to collect Bibles! As a little addition to my Christmas list this year, I put that I was accepting donations of Bibles and explained a little bit about our cause. I'm wondering if we'll get any donations. When my family gathers together at my grandparents' house on Christmas Eve, I'll be bringing a box for donations.
Have you ever thought about starting your own Bible collection? Well, if you haven't and you're not a Christian, have you ever thought that you may be affected by a Bible someone has provided you with someday? Have you ever seen a Bible from the Gideons International in a hotel, waiting room or school? If you have and you don't know the Lord, have you ever read that Bible that you've seen? The Gideons International is an organization which does pretty much the same thing as us, only in much (much!) larger quantities. You can find further information at the web address I've posted below.* What happens, though, is people can send in a donation of money, and the Gideons will place a Bible in a hotel room, school, office building, doctor's office or whatever. Each Bible costs $5, and last year in memory of this Mr. Buckley, the four of us made a donation of $25 to the Gideons International. Therefore, 5 Bibles were placed in his honor. You send in $50, 10 Bibles are placed, you send in $60, 12 Bibles are placed, and so on. Consider making a donation to them or starting a Bible drive of your own. It could positively affect someone someday. So give it a try!

An Announcement
This post is just meant to be a short announcement that this blog is reserved for our Bible mission, so, even though this is a Christian topic, there probably won't be a verse of the day like I have on my personal blog. There will probably be a verse posted here and there, but this blog is set apart just for the Bible mission. So obviously there will be verses occasionally but not every day.

About Us and the Mission
Mr. Buckley, who we named this Bible mission after, was definitely a missionary. And just because you don't move away to be a missionary doesn't mean you can't be one. So, in referring to this, I am saying that Mr. Buckley did something similar to what we're doing ~ only he did it all the time and in larger quantities. He collected, sorted, and shipped Bibles to places around the world.
When he suddenly passed away in October of last year, my church did a Bible drive in memory of him. And, since Anna, Sarah, Jillian and I were almost done with ours, we included our Bibles in with the church Bible drive. A man about Mr. Buckley's age announced at the Thanksgiving church service of 2014 that if we had weighed all of the Bibles, it would have been over 2 tons.
Another reason why we've named our Bible mission after him is because he gave us a lot of advice when we were looking to do our first shipment. He gave us a lot of information as well as the exact address to ship them to. When we had finished our first collection, we were planning to ship the Bibles using $30-$35 that the four of us had in our treasury. However, when we discovered that my church was doing a Bible drive, we gave a donation of $25 to the Gideons International in Mr. Buckley's memory.
That was just a little bit about Mr. Buckley and what he did, but now we're moving on to our mission. I suppose I should make sure everyone was introduced ~ our names are Anna, Sarah, Jillian, and Chandler (me or tigerowner79). However, I will not give out last names due to the risks of doing so. We have been very good friends for at least 3-4 years now ~ we had known each other since birth, but not as well as we do today. We have always had a donation to charity in mind here and there ~ including donations to an animal shelter and Boston Children's Hospital. However, those ideas were long gone soon after due to various causes. Now, we have an ongoing Bible mission on our minds. Well, we may not always be doing it, but I hope to do at least 2-3 shipments every year if it's okay with the other three. Anyway, last year, just the four of us shipped 45 books which included Bibles. There was also a lot of other Christian literature. We filled 2, I believe it was, of the big boxes that my church had set aside for the Bible drive. It may have only been one, but 2 were brought into my house. If we could achieve that accomplishment a year ago, we know we're perfectly capable of doing it again.
And in closing, I know this may draw a bit away from the topic at hand, but how do you like the template for this blog? Since it shows some of the world including some of Africa where our Bibles often go, I thought it would be the perfect one for this topic. I love how it suits the topic!
Now I will be done with this long post. If you have any questions about what we're doing, please leave them in the comments. I will provide more information in another post on a later day.

Welcome!
Hello readers, and welcome to The Mr. Buckley Memorial Bible Mission. This is a Bible drive run by the four of us: Anna, Jillian, Sarah and Chandler (also known as me or tigerowner79). Our last Bible drive we shipped 45 books including Bibles, commentaries and other topics of Christianity. I am exhausted right now as I have been working for charity for 10 hours, but I hope to make another post tomorrow with a lot more information. Thanks for reading!
