Happy New Year - Are you ready for 2010?

It’s that time of year again; the new year. Everyone in the WordLive team prays that God will bless you this coming year.

One theme that runs through the Bible is that of new beginnings. And a new year gives us a little impetus to turn over a new leaf and make a fresh start.

This year why not commit to reading the Bible each day using WordLive?

Or, if you want to go one step further, you’ll find from 1st January 2010 a new activity each day. The Bible in a year provides links to a couple of readings each day. And guess what? If you use this activity each day for 2010, you’ll have read the whole Bible by 31st December :)

We’re looking forward to 2010, with lots of things in the pipeline for WordLive, so let’s journey together. And do let us know in the comments what you’d like to see on WordLive in the future.

Almost time

At midnight tonight, GMT, we move into 2008, a new year. The 1st of January also marks the first day of specific content for WordLive. This is all new material created to help you and others engage with the Bible, to get to know what is is written in that old manuscript and hopefully meet with God through the experience.

It is quite interesting for me, as this time last year I was preparing for a six week sabbatical, that didn't go quite according to plan but that is another story, however, on my return to the office, in February, I was asked to join a team that were just beginning to plan the scope of the WordLive project. And now, here, a little over ten months later we are at launch.

The content that you'll find has been edited and pulled into shape by a team of editors and creatives and it would be good to give these unsung heroes a little credit as we hit the web. So in no particular order, I give you the editors and creatives who have pulled the first months content together.

'Tricia, Andrew, Phil, Lin, Eddie, Lizzie, Andrew and Wendy, Jon, John and myself. I'll tell you more about these people as we head into the new year, but just to say a big thank you to them at this time. Roll on midnight.
