YouVersion


There are several excellent online Bibles available but my favorite, without a doubt, is YouVersion.

YouVersion is an online Bible, but it's really much, much more. It allows individuals to contribute their thoughts on the Scriptures. It allows for community interaction around the Scriptures. It provides several reading plans which can be read and tracked on the web and on a mobile device simultaneously. It provides a way for churches or Bible study groups to follow the message outlines and Scripture readings live on their mobile devices. It truly is an amazing resource!

My smartphone of choice is the Palm Pre. YouVersion has an excellent app for the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi that allows access to the same features on the smartphone that are available on the YouVersion website.

Of course, YouVersion has excellent apps for the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android phones, but it's the Palm YouVersion app that I want to feature.

Here's why:

Currently, Palm is running a contest to see which app is downloaded the most by the end of June. YouVersion is trying to win $10,000 or maybe even $100,000. They would like to win the money so they can put it right back into development of all their mobile platforms.

If you have a Palm Pre or Palm Pixi, you can help by downloading the YouVersion app from the App Catalog. Not only will you be enriched spiritually by this app, but you will also help the Bible to reach more and more people all over the world.

There's not much time left in this contest, so if you have a Pre or Pixi, download it today. It's totally free!

The Day Our World Changed

November 13, 1989. 11:30 AM I had just finished my lunch in the teacher's workroom and was walking back to my classroom. I was teaching at San Jacinto Elementary in San Angelo, Texas at the time. Up until then, it had been a typical November day. As I walked past the school office, the door swung open, and a fellow teacher stepped out with a look of concern on her face. She spoke directly to me and said, “Your wife’s on the phone, and it sounds serious.” I ran into the office, took the phone, and heard my wife say, “I don’t know what happened, but your brother is on life support in a hospital in Austin.”  Twelve hours later, my father and I were sharing a room in a hotel on I-35 in Austin. My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name.  My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his high s

Classical Music

Took a trip to Midland with Lillian, Bethany, and Ryan for Ryan's basketball game tonight. We went in Bethany's car, which has satellite radio. On the way up, we were listening to a Classical station that was playing Christmas music, specifically choral music. It was just beautiful! We got to hear music from Handel's Messiah (For Unto Us a Child is Born), as well as performances by Luciano Pavarrotti, the King's Singers, and many others. It made for great traveling. Oh, Ryan's team won the game. Ryan had a double double. For the uninitiated, that means he scored double digits in points and rebounds. It was a good evening.

Unveiling the Unexpected Gift of Suffering: A Christian Perspective

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I'd like to explore an unusual subject: finding thankfulness in the midst of suffering. This might seem odd, but Christianity has a different perspective on suffering that can astonish many. Embracing Thankfulness  Traditionally, as we navigate through the month of November, we often use each day to express thankfulness for various aspects of our lives, ranging from family to health and careers. But, as Christians, we go beyond the norm and find ourselves thankful for rather unusual things—grace, for instance. We are grateful for God's grace and how it instills in us a sense of liberation from our sins. But there's another element, quite peculiar, that we appreciate—suffering. A Christian Perspective on Suffering The notion of being thankful for suffering may sound worrisome. Yet, as followers of Christ, we trust that our trials and tribulations serve a purpose. Every pain, every emotional turmoil, offers an opportunity for spiritual
