Hey can you send me the link off-line Bill? One of these days I plan to get onto that phone call. Tom is a great guy! Actually I owe him a phone call but life has been so crazy.

It’s the Bible app for iOS from Life Church, technically known as You Version, but appearing as Bible on your phone.It has 61 English Bibles available and versions in numerous other languages. This is a feature I enjoy as a language learning tool in addition to having the word generally. I have accessed a couple Spanish versions as I know some of that language and added a French version to my recently used list this week as I have a desire to learn some of that, though it will be more of a challenge.

I sent a note applauding the good VoiceOver access and indicated continuation of this is necessary as iOS upgrades happen. I also touted the language learning aspect.
