Several weeks ago I joined Bible Gateway Blogger’s Guild (BG2) – it seemed a good “fit” because I use Bible Gateway for all my online scripture research and resources. I love that I can see one scripture in however many translations as I need, and I don’t have to be a techie to use the… [Read More]
