I’ve long desired to purchase and use a computer Bible. Last night I took the plunge and purchased the Christian Home LE edition of Logos 4 Bible Software. Several versions are available and unlike my norm I purchased the least expensive, to start, at $US 149.95  When I’m used to this I’ll likely upgrade one or two steps either to the Bible Study or the Bible Teacher version. At a glance this application is amazing. Considering what you get for your money it is dirt cheap.  Wish I’d done this years ago … but years ago I likely could not afford it no matter how inexpensive it is.

Logos 4 opens on what is called My Homepage which contains a wealthy myriad of information. I’ll try to get more specific information about this shortly. Near the top left is the search box. Today in here I entered Matthew 5:1-12, The Beatitudes. I will be studying this passage and others during Lent this year. Any the search result is a new page, divided into 3 vertical columns (default and can be user adjusted). Beginning the top of left side column I see the following:

1. A notes area
2. 6 Commentaries
3. My Content
4. Cross References – The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
5. Parallel Passages
6. A printable handout for a family, group etc.
7. Topics
8. Interesting Words
9. 4 Power Point Sermons
10. 5 sermons from SermonAudio.com
11. 5 more sermons from Sermons.Logos.com
12. 5 more sermons from Sermon Central.com

Blue had his annual checkup with his favourite vet Dr. Jonathon Smith @ Anicare this past Tuesday (Jan 26, 2010).. At nine he is in marvelous condition and has lost 1.7 lbs in the last 6 weeks. I want to get one more pound of him so that he will be back to his adoption weight. While we were there one of the staff ladies clipped his nails. I refuse to do this myself since he’s been cut twice by others doing this he is incredibly sensitive about his feet. And I do not want to be the bad guy. All went well even though I quick bled a little. I’ve got him on a  4 – 6 week nail schedule now which should result in his quicks shortening somewhat thus making the process simpler and easier for all.
