We have been working very hard today and just wanted to update you on our progress. As mentioned in the previous post, getting the Bible up is our highest priority. We now have all the books up to the Book of Wisdom ready to go. That is about half the Bible already. At this rate we should hopefully have the whole Bible up in just a few short days. The progress we are making is phenomenal compared to a few years ago; we are all very excited for the launch of the site, which we have decided will be when the Bible is finished.
That's all the news for now.
Have a blessed day.

...And We're Back
It's been a few years. To be perfectly honest, almost no work at all has been done on the website during that time. I was beginning to think that this website would be a waste of time and unnecessary when held in comparison with others that are already out there and functioning just fine. The team that was working on this site were getting too busy with their own lives and had to leave the project. However, I have gathered a few other recruits and we are back and moving faster than ever. After only a day's work, we were able to finish putting up the book of Genesis and also put up the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers—again, this is one day's work, whereas before, we were lucky if one chapter was put up in a day. This is some great progress. We hope to have the complete Bible up very soon!
I'm not too sure where we will go from there, but it should be pretty good. One idea that has been preying on my mind for a long time now is a website for prayer requests. I have a few ideas for how it would work, including a prayer counter. By "prayer counter," I mean a button that will be under a prayer request that keeps track of how many times that request has been prayed for; clicking the button will increment the counter. Everyone needs prayers and it is comforting to see that people are actually praying for your request. We still need to work out the details, but I hope that it would reach many people and we could have a giant prayer web of people praying for other specific people. It would be a good place to come when one needs prayers and to pray for others.
More to come includes a greater prayer library, possibly the Catechism of the Catholic Church (though this may not be for a while), and Saints. The Bible, right now, is our top priority though. The entire idea of this site came from me wanting a digital Bible, customized to my liking. After having thought about that for a while, I decided I would just make it a website and let it be open to the world. Thus, I formed a team of volunteers to help me with it. While much was done with the site with that team, not much of the Bible was put up. I appreciate all the hard work and time my old team put into this project and I respect their decisions to leave. Now I am back with a new team though and the Bible is coming up fast.
I suppose that is it for now. I apologize for seeming to repeat myself several times (I blame my cold).
