Month End Changes Coming

2010-05-04T00:01:00.000-07:00

Hi, Everyone.

Due to re-occurring delays with Google updating
our daily entries, we've decided to cycle this blog
down as of the end of May.

What this means is that we will move all of our daily
updates directly to our linked Twitter account which
already contains most of the archived posts & comments
from the blog, but much more.

In addition to more frequent daily updates, we also feature
over on our Twitter site, scripture posts from live sermon
and Bible study sessions plus commentary from other Christians
who contribute to that site.

So, please bookmark our Twitter site - its free to join. We will
plan to keep this blog archive for as long as Google allows it for
anyone who would like to refer to the several hundred Bible passages
available.

Thank you all for your patience & support.

We look forward to you enjoying the more frequent & more
interactive version of our daily Bible verses site.

This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful."
