Christmas Gifts: I Heart My Kindle
After thinking about it for months, I decided to purchase a Kindle from Amazon.com about six weeks ago. It has revolutionized my reading and become one of the delights of my life.
The Kindle is a portable electronic reading devoice which downloads books, magazines, and pdfs. Instead of paying $20 for a best seller and looking for a place to store the book, I download the same book on Kindle for $10. I read about 30-40 books per year, so after 12 months the Kindle will have paid for itself.
Currently I'm reading several books on my Kindle: Craig Ferguson's "American on Purpose;" Stephen Covey's "The Speed of Trust"; and Max Lucado's "Fearless." I also subscribe to Time and Fortune magazines, as well as this blog!
My NIV Bible is also on my Kindle, so it helps me with my daily readings.
Honestly folks, this is a great investment and a wonderful gift for Christmas...for yourself!

Download a hymnbook on your I-phone and bring it to Church
Churches to Sing From Digital Hymn Sheets
CHURCHES are being invited to join the digital revolution by downloading digital hymn books.
The innovation could spell the end for the traditional hymn book and church organ.
Publisher HarperCollins is launching a digital version of Mission Praise, the best-selling collection of worship songs.
Song sheets and accompanying musical backing tracks will be available for download.
Churches will be able to create electronic playlists for their orders of service.
The words can be printed off and handed out to the congregation or displayed on video screens, while the music can be played via iPods or computers.
The 1800 songs on www. missionpraise. com include The Lord's my Shepherd, Amazing Grace, Abide With Me and Rock Of Ages.
"Church services are set to be revolutionised, " a HarperCollins spokesman said.
"The site will provide an invaluable resource. We're hoping this will be a cost-effective offer to churches, schools and Sunday schools who can use the resource and tailor it to their specific needs."
