I have been keeping tabs on some Bible reviews:

• ESV Study Bible Reviews Roundup
  I believe Nick’s review is the most substantive and balanced.
• NLT Study Bible Reviews Roundup
• Review: The NLT One Year Chronological Bible
  At the end of my review you will find links to other reviews.

The back surgery was definitely worth it. I can stand up straight without pain for the first time in years and can even bend backwards a little already. However, even though it will be a while until I’m fully recovered, I realize that I just can’t sit at this computer as much as I would like because of other conditions and back problems.

So I’ve decided to get a notebook/laptop computer. Spending money isn’t exactly what we want to do right now after surgery, doctor visits etc. but I have some birthday and Christmas money, and some other money saved to go towards it. I’m getting a Dell Inspiron 1525, 3GB, 250GB, 15″ screen which was on special for $499.

There is a risk of spending too much time piddling around on it while sitting in the recliner. I know a lot of you have cut back on your internet time and taken temporary hiatuses from blogging. Blogging isn’t a problem for me, but if any of you have enacted any rules and guidelines for yourselves, I’d like to hear about it. I want to use my time wisely.

I received a review copy of BibleWorks 8. I plan on going all out in learning how to use it and will do an extensive review in a few weeks.

I’ve been writing and collecting some things on my other blog that don’t quite fit on this blog, which I like to keep more focused.
