Today, I meditate on Psalm 3:1-2

As I sit here and contemplate my morning reading, I preview what my day will look like. The focus of the passage is the psalmist’s earthly enemies.

That was a standard of honesty, honor, respect, hard work, fairness, and a bond among men, that camaraderie, where men held each other accountable at … Click to Continue →

Good news, for everyone, especially me.

We have made some leaps on the new BibleCounts.com website. By tomorrow we will start placing the basic design of the core site. This includes the registration, user tracking. etc.

The initial test design for ages 5-12 will be updated first. We have Mathew through Luke completed and will expand those quizzes as we get response from our users and testers.
