Reading and Listening to Scripture Online

Photobucket

Bible reading is a breeze with
the Online Audio Bible.
At their website anyone can read
verse after verse of their choice in
The King James Version while
listening to a powerful reader.

.To give it a try go to
Audio-Bible.com
(for info and instructions).

Find the link at the
bottom of the page:
then from there
choose the option
btw- The Gospel Of John is
a special Book of the Bible for me.
......................................................
Galatians 2:20 (which I place on most
of my websites) has long been one of
my cherished verses. It would be
interesting to find out a couple of
your favorite books and verses.

Reading/ Online-News/ Poetry/ Magazines


While scanning over the online news headlines, I follow
the ones I want to know more about, then drift along to
other subjects that come to mind- as many web surfers
do. I too, can stay on the computer for hours if I don't
MAKE myself take a break from it and do a bit of cooking
and cleaning. Much of what I find interesting I then share
it with my friends and in our email newsletters.

Reading poetry and other creative writing is a joy for me,
the flow and rhyme bring peace to my mind. Sometimes
I jot down a poem or story myself, then file it away until
I get brave enough to allow someone to read it.
Poetry seems to come more often when I am at the
extreme ends of my emotions... when I feel sad or low,
or when I feel happy and uplifted.

I enjoy reading clean jokes,
wise quotes, uplifting articles and
an occasional book (that is non-fiction).
Photobucket

I have a couple friends who pass magazines
on to me. I enjoy such as "home, nature, family,
health, gardening and/or
cooking" type
magazines. While reading them, I usually
clip out the recipes
which sound yummy to
me. It may be a while
before I can get around
to trying some of
them, but once one has
proven to be good, I add it to my cookbook
and share the new ones with friends who
also enjoy cooking and are
glad to have a new recipe.

Those magazines also keep me company
when I have waiting time at an appointment
(which can happen often). After removing
any mailing address labels beforehand
(and having not done any clipping from them yet)
they are recycled again when I pass them along
to other patients trying to wait patiently.

movies, tv, radio

We cancelled our satellite-tv service last Spring (2008).
With the small amount of television that we watched, it just
wasn't worth the cost. Because of the internet we don't miss the
local and world news because of the online articles and videos.
Many items can be seen at a time of our choosing after the program
has aired. Actually, we learn more about some subjects
on the 'net than we would have on television.

Mike and I occasionally watch a DVD
at home complete with our usual "movie" snacks...

Buttered Popcorn, A Chocolate Candy Bar

and ice-cold Cola completes the treat!

We keep our radio on during part of most days.
There are Talk Radio Stations in our area that
even though have opposing view-- can be entertaining
and somewhat informative. When the discussions turn
to Current Events I give it my full attention.
Photobucket

I feel a lift when I listen to a local
"Family" radio channel which includes
News, Commentary, Interviews,
Praise Songs and Contemporary Christian Music.

Tatty Bear/Teddy Bear & Butterfly Graphics

I gather the best butterfly graphics and
cute Tatty Bear/Teddy Bear characters
that I find online. I
really enjoy using
them to spiffy up my emails and webpages.
From time to time I add a few more to this page.
Maybe you have a graphic to share
with me by posting it in my comments
