The Joy of the Lord comes in many different ways, but for Pastor Swinford, it presented itself when he was able to baptise two of his grandchildren.

A surprising thing happened the other day, as Lindsay Monroe was surfing over to the main United Pentecostal Church International Website. She saw some familiar faces…

On the front page was a picture of her niece Sarah Monroe, her nephew Lawrence Monroe, and herself.

The picture was taken from our trip to the Pumpkin Patch last year. You can view those pictures here.

The banners on http://www.upci.org rotate so if you have a hard time seeing the picture (hit F5 to refresh the page) you can view a screenshot of it here.

There are many Web 2.0 sites that I am excited about, but one of the biggest for me is the new eBible.com. I have been using it for a few weeks now and although it’s in early beta when the site is working…it works well.

Right now you must wait for an invite to join eBible.com and I have used all my invites, hopefully I will obtain some more so contact me if you are interested.

The Home page for ebible shows a search box that allows you to search by Bible, Answers, Products, Tags.

Below the search box is a Tag cloud where they monitor the most popular tags and represent them in a cloud for each searching. This is fun to use and see how others are usingeBible…be sure if you use eBible to tag searches or scriptures as that’s an easy way to remember what you searched for (along with using bookmarks).

Once you do a search your results show up on a clean and well thought out page.

You can select different bible translations by just selecting form a drop down list on your search results page.

The change is immediate thanks to the AJAX running behind the scenes.

You can also bookmark, view bible side by side comparisons, change text size and turn highlighting on and off.

Each scripture comes with a link to commentary (Nelson’s or Believer’s Bible Commentary) and you simply click on the little “c” button to read it in line with the scripture.

You can also search by Answers.

For even more help you can search by Products to get a list of material that you can purchase for future reading.

Last you can search by Tags, which is a nice way to find scripture by topics when you don’t have a scripture to begin with…

You can bookmark any scripture reference and even see other public bookmarks.

You have a nice selection of user settings to choose Bibles, Dictioniares, Encyclopedias, and Commentaries.

There are still rough edges that you expect with beta but overall I enjoy using it and look forward to more features and more stability in theirblog and web forums.

Sign up for an invite from ebible.com and if I get any more invites I will pass them out on a first come first serve basis.
