A Bible Search Site
(Photo by Eli)
Besides my new commentaries, something else that has been very helpful in studying the Word is a website Marty recently introduced to me. Advanced Bible Search at bibledatabase.org/cgi-bin/bib_search/bible.cgi is a helpful resource that allows you to search for words in Scripture similar to a concordance. For example, if you are aware of a verse in the Bible but unsure of where it's located, you can plug in a few of the words from the verse and press search. The site will show you any verses which contain those words. There are various ways and options to search for what you need. It has been SO helpful for our whole family to use this in various studies of the Word.
(By the way, could any of you ladies that use Blogger teach me how to highlight a website within a post so that all YOU have to do to is click on it in my post and it will take you to that site? I STILL haven't figured out how to do it!)

It is quite simple to create the Hyperlink. While in the "posting" screen simply Hi-lite the word or words you want people to click on, then just above the posting box where you are typing, you will see some various icons. Click the one to the right of the BIG T, it looks like a chain link,a little box will come up and this is where you insert the complete web address/URL of the site or page you want to link to.(you can just copy/paste to insert it) Click OK and thats it! If you need any further help just let me know.
By the way, I have been enjoying your blog for a few weeks now, thank you for all you share in it!
Lisa Marie,
Thank you SO much for helping me with hyperlinks. In following your instructions, I realized that I do not have a Big T or a chain link icon. In searching Blogger help to find out why, I discovered that the Mac browser Safari (which I'm using) does not give me those options, so I am unable to hyperlink as of now because of it. Though I can't hyperlink, I'm SO glad for your help since I realized my inability to do so - it's been driving me crazy that I couldn't figure this out! It's nice to know that it's the computer and not me!! Again, thanks for your time and have a great day!
Blessings to you,
Julie
Your post was an answer to prayer this morning. I wanted to comment on my daughters blog and was able to quote 3Jn 1:4 because of your information. Much thanks.
I just subscribed to your blog's RSS feed;)
I also wanted to let you know I am just now finding out comments had come in on some of my blog posts. Had no idea!
I am going to check for them until I can fix the email feature (where they email when comments are left!)
Oh, Julie, I'm assuming that beautiful photo is your front porch and the view from there. Absolutely gorgeous!! I'd love to live in an area like that. I think I'll move in tomorrow!!
Love,
Patti
What a gorgeous photo! Eli has quite an eye. Makes me want to sit down with my cup of coffee.
