BibleTime First Impressions

I recently migrated from Windows to an exclusively Ubuntu operating system, and the only software/ capability that I missed from Windows was E-Sword - great program, by the way. After doing some reading I found a way to install E-Sword on Linux, but so far it isn't working properly. It installed, starts up, but there is absolutely no content when it does. Weird. Anyway, I've been pretty spoiled by E-Sword so I was a little weary of trying a new program out but I wanted to get something working so I installed BibleTime.

First impressions? I love that they have all the dictionaries, various translations, books, devotionals, ect built into the installer. LOVE it. I just had to click on various items in a list and they installed for me. So far the program's layout seems less customizable than E-Sword, but that is ok because the default layout is a mirror image of how I had E-Sword set up. BibleTime comes with Strongs numbers, but unlike E-Sword the numbers aren't thrown into the text in the main screen. I actually kind of hated that about E-Sword and always downloaded a regular Bible so that I wouldn't have to look at the numbers unless I wanted to. In BibleTime they aren't in the text, but you still have easy access to them via a small window to the left. As you click on individual words in the text the other window updates to give you the Strongs number and definition. NICE.

The main thing that annoys me about BibleTime, and there may be a way to change this that I haven't found yet, is that you can't click on individual books of the Bible. You can type in what you're looking for, or you can arrow up/ down to the book, chapter, and verse that you want. It is a little time consuming, and if you know a way to change this please let me know! I'm still getting used to it, but I think it will be a fine substitue if I can't figure out what's up with E-Sword.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn
