For those of you that know, I am really enjoying my new Blackberry (they call it a Crackberry for good reason, it is addictive). It is amazing what this thing can do. It really helps with staying connected on the go and with productivity. In the world of electronic communication that speeds up our communication we also get slammed with too much information. It can turn it into a nightmare. By utilizing the new technology right, you can save lots of time in getting back to people and quickly sifting through the junk. No more full inbox when I come into work and all “important” communication has already happened.
I understand this may not work well for everyone. Some of you want to check out from work when you leave. As a Pastor though this is not a 9-5 job and you are somewhat always “on duty” and when working with those under 30 or in college their lives certainly don’t happen on a 9-5 schedule. Since you can waste a lot of time on technology I am really trying to focus on improving productivity and everyday things not just playing games or looking are the latest and greatest of whatever.
Anyway…what does this have to do with my title? Over at Swerve a leadership, technology, and innovation blog for pastors and church leaders operated by the guys at Lifechurch.tv have just released a free version of the Bible for Blackberry. They previously released one for the iPhone in April. It is really exciting to see the church get into this kind of developement and releasing it for FREE! All the good versions too. Anyway check it out. You can download it from www.youversion.com/bb/ A very useful item in a world full of time wasting technology.
