I did a post before about various iPad apps and bibles for iPad (as not all are apps, but ibooks) See post here For reference, Glo bible can be checked out here: http://www.globible.com/ My former statements are here: “- Glo Bible – This is a brand new app, looks very cool, has images, videos, biblical landscape tours, all sorts of multimedia (if you pay the $59) and it connects with your youversion account (if that was in any way useful for me to share my notes), and connects to facebook, twitter for sharing verses etc. Great start, but again, I see no way of directly emailing notes :/” Things have changed now, and I’ve went and purchased Glo bible. First thing is that its 30% off right now, or was. I got it for $35 plus tax, much better then...

Here is a comment by Richard Dawkins on theistic evolution. Makes total sense to me. Dawkins isn’t stupid by any stretch. I think more Christians need to investigate creation more and understand it and even the apparent contradictions and go looking for answers. If you don’t believe in creation but call yourself a christian, I think there is a large part of Gods story that you’re missing. The evidence is there and honestly in large amounts, very compelling and conforms to the scientific process actually. Evolution does not. Have a quick watch and then ask yourself some questions on what you believe. When Dawkins is right, hes right, when hes wrong hes wrong. In this particular case though I believe he is 100% right on. embedded by Embedded...

I’ve blogged and ranted on such things before but I’m still and regularly amazed at the things in society we see as hobbiest stuff, or only for the real connoisseur.  What am I talking about? Basic stuff, like fixing your car. How many know the basics of oil and spark plug changes? How many actually check their tire pressure and ensure their fluids are topped up (without the prompting of the idiot lights on the dash)? Or baking bread, it used to be something everyone did every day, that was how they got their bread. Or collecting eggs from their chickens. Even coffee roasting, the luxury with coffee isn’t in roasting it yourself, though it is a better tasting result, the luxury is in buying it already roasted in convenient ‘fresh...

I’ve blogged about this guy before, Steve Hadley, he is a pastor in Nevada.  I like his teaching style and its exciting to listen to him for any of his sermons really. He regularly does prophecy updates here: http://www.harvestreno.org/messages.asp Unfortunately they aren’t youtube or something easily embed-able, I’ve been after him to change that. Regardless, they are excellent and really good for people new to bible prophecy as well. Check him out, browse through his list of sermons. Not iPad compatible either so you will need an android device or PC / Mac (i’ve also emailed him on that ) Latest update is about Gog and Magog, the coming battle related to Ezekiel 38. fascinating...

Tonight was the ecumenical service, held at one of the local Ch’town catholic churches. Its a new building, oddly arranged but thats another story. What I thought as I stood there in service tonight looking at the statues of Mary and Christ and the burning prayer candles is that the more liturgical denominations create better ‘sacred spaces’. The ones where you can walk in mid-week, find a place to yourself in front of Mary  or Jesus (not that i believe we should pray in front of Mary or that she has any significance outside of being the mother of Christ…) and pray, or ponder your life and your spirituality quietly.  To their credit, they seem to create more of an experience for solitude and being alone with God.  Maybe its the statues...
