ESV Online

I'll keep this short and sweet.  The ESV Bible has gone digital... and it's free!  Crossway is calling it ESV Online.  Anyone is able to sign up, and you can "customize your own interface, highlight and mark verse numbers, add bookmark ribbons, search the ESV text, and manage personal notes."  Check out the rest of the press release here.  It's pretty sweet.  Check it out if you like.  Just throwing a great (free!) resource your way.

Also, if you have an iPhone or iPad, check out Crossway's ESV Bible App. My wife has it and really likes it.  You can find it in the App Store if you search for "ESV Bible."

My Current Reading List

I've added a new tab near the top of this blog... Currently Reading. I've mostly created it for myself, so that I can keep a tab on what I have read over the past year. However, I thought it might be interesting to keep it on my blog just in case you were curious what I am currently reading. So check it out.

What are you currently reading? Anything good? I'd be interested to know.
