The Daily Audio Bible

One of the biggest blessings in working on my relationship with God is that I found the Daily Audio Bible.  Being in the year 2011, technology has flourished and made it easier to find and use information, virtually, remotely, and at your fingertips.  It really is amazing what is out there at no cost to the consumer.  I have a wonderful family and great friends.  Two friends knew I was interested in purchasing an iPad.  They got together and surprised me with one and I LOVE it.  Tony loves it too.  We got through stages where sometimes he uses it more and the others I do.  All in all, it is a fun and wonderful tool.  On the iPad, there are zillions of apps that you can download to help you with anything you need...some with a minimal cost and many that are free.  I figured there was an online bible or something I could download to make me more engaged in reading my bible.  Bingo! God's will found me the perfect thing.  I saw it in the free section of the apps and not really knowing what it was all about, I downloaded the app to my iPad. On this, you could listen to streaming audio.  It was a week or two into January and luckily for me, I wasn't too far behind from January 1.  I listened to the January 1 audio and I was thinking how perfect this is...better yet, they offer a reading plan that mimics what the DAB does each day, so if I wanted to read the bible verses after listening to the audio, I could. Brian Hardin is the moderator and he has a talent for this type of thing...coming from the music industry and his father being an evangelist...he certainly found his calling.  I love love love it and better yet, he explains things that are a bit ambiguous.  He really keeps me engaged and I can't wait for the next's days audio.  What I didn't like about the app is that you needed an internet connection and although we have wifi at our house, I mostly wanted to listen to this in my car on my long drive to work and back.  Luckily after a little searching, the DAB offers podcasts that you can easily download to your iPad or iPod to listen to.  Perfect!  At the end of each podcast, call ins are heard by people around the word with prayer requests, blessings for answered prayers, and just affirmations to what the DAB family brings.  These really tear at my heartstrings, but they also fill my heart with joy that I've become a part of a family, all of whom I've never met in person, but feel very connect to. Thank you Brian Hardin and the DAB family.  I am blessed to have you.  It has been over two months for me and I am going strong.  I have told several people about it and I just love sharing this gift with others. As you always say, I love you all very much!
