my desk is a mess...

• Crossway Books offers the English Standard Version Bible FREE in Amazon Kindle store.  Free!
• You don't have to carry the big old bible in your suitcase when you travel. 
• Public domain books are much cheaper (as they should be).  So I have a copy of Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, and a John Calvin all on the Kindle.  (Once again, one thin device and all these books.) 
• And ALL of these books can be searched.  Yes, searched!  So it's like the most amazing concordance of whatever you have on your ebook reader!  I searched Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening to see if he had a meditation on "abiding" and I found it.  Amazing.  Looking for a verse? Type in the phrase.  

Just wanted to mention it.  This device though still feels way too expensive, but the technology is coming!  I'm sure, just like anything, the delivery device will come down in price, and I'm looking forward to it!
