Great Site for Greek Practice.

I stumbled upon Zach Hubert's, zhubert.com's Bible. It is an amazing web-based interface that really helps for those like me are still new in the Greek. It's nothing like the powerful tool of Libronix, but for me I think I will be using it often just as a handy, very smooth interface to read the Greek Bible side-by-side with the English to help me learn and cement the Greek into my memory. As you drag over each Greek word, the definition along with the a simple parsing of the grammatical function of the word. The site also has Greek flashcards for very effective vocabulary quizzing. I suspect that even with almost no Greek knowledge at all the site would still be at least slightly to refer to when the English is ambiguous on number (you plural vs you singular), gender on pronouns (what is the antecedant), and other stuff like that. Besides, this site is just plain cool and looks like tons of work. It looks like they are about to undertake the Hebrew Old Testament. Bookmark this site. Looks like they'll be turning out some very functional and easy-to-use tools.

Church Buying Strip Club

I just stumbled upon this AP Story in the "odd" stack entitled, "Strip Club Owner Weighs Offer from Church". I'm not sure what to think of it, but what I do know is this seems like a lucrative business model that the strip club owner has discovered: This will be the second start-up club that the church has bought. The owner is "not sure" if he will start another or not. I applaud the efforts, but perhaps this is not the most effective strip-club control methods:

My favorite software site: Journeyed.com

I always like passing on helpful information, and if you are a student or a teacher, this will most likely prove to save you significant money. JourneyEd is a site that sells student and teacher versions of popular software, many times at over 90% discount. I have personally saved hundreds of dollars from this site and as long as I am a student hope to save much more. This is will be a post you'll want to bookmark so you can get back to the site often (Support my blog by clicking the link below)
