After Brian’s message yesterday I went online to look for an online daily reading plan for the Bible.
I found one at OneYearBibleOnline.com — which gives you a reading for every day of the year and you can pick from any number of versions including King Jimmy, NIV, The Message and others. What online tools/resources do you use to spur your faith?

Verse and Quote of the day
No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength. Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.
Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect Him, the ones who are looking for his love. He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.
– Psalms 33:16-18
Jesus took the command to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, and pushed the definition of who is our neighbor, out, out, and still further out, until it reached to the ends of the earth and included all of humanity – all of God’s children.
– Alvin Alexi Currier
The Bible Experience
I’m all over this.
The Bible Experience is a fully-dramatized and symphonic-orchestrated reading of the New Testament performed by an unprecedented ensemble of distinguished African-American actors such as Denzel Washington, Blair Underwood, Angela Bassett, Juanita Bynum, Shirley Caesar, Samuel L. Jackson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kirk Franklin, Dule Hill and many more. Visit www.zondervan.com/TheBibleExperience or Inspiredby.com for more info.
Also listen to the NPR story.
WikiMavs
Cuban and the team he owns have created MavsWiki, an interactive site between the Mavericks and their fans, and akin to Wikipedia. It is the first such site in the NBA. Co-oool. Cuban says not only will fans be able to construct the Mavs’ history, but they can “share their Mavs experiences with us and other fans.”

What would a Wiki[insert church name here] look like? What history and stories would people share about your church?
50 most influential Christians
ChurchReport.com has released it’s list of the 50 most influential Christians in America. I wonder how that’s decided.
Joel Osteen from Houston is number one.
I still crack up when I see/think of the Texas Monthly cover with him on the front and “On the eighth day God created Joel Osteen”
Re: What to do with the homeless
Just an added verse reminder that I thought fit…
I can’t stand your religious meetings.
I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals.
I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making.
I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.
When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want justice — oceans of it.
I want fairness — rivers of it.
That’s what I want. That’s all I want.
Amos 5:21-24 (The Message)
