Daily Mass Readings with audio

I am now providing the Mass Readings in audio as well as audio commentary and insights on the Readings. As far as I know the Litteral Christian Library is the only place to get the Daily Mass Readings with commentary, Christian Art, as well as audio clips of the Readings and commentary, and other things like study questions and additional resources, all in one place. Check it out! http://litteralchristianlibrary.wetpaint.com/page/Catholic+Scripture+Readings

Another blessed month for Litteral's Christian Library!

I was very happy to see that Litteral's Christian Library has continued to reach higher numbers, breaking last month's record of 7,870 hits to this month of 8,905 hits! I am thankful for all the prayers for this site, and for the hard work and care that is put into it by my sister in Christ J9, as well as those very kind emails from people who show their appreciation for the site! I thank God for all the blessings that I have received from being a part of this ministry! God is so great!

Looking for someone to do a Catholic News Page on site

I have been wanting to provide a Catholic news page that keeps up with the news of the Church and world news. I don't have time to do it myself, but would love to have someone who is a news junkie who would have the zeal to do it on a daily basis, just to provide links to the latest articles and news. If anyone is interested in volunteering for it then please contact me at jlitteral5@roadrunner.com

Commentaries by Ambrosiaster now on Litteral's Christian Library!

I was thrilled to find that I can now provide some Bible commentaries on Paul's Epistles by an ancient Christian writer Ambrosiaster! Ambrosiaster is one of my favorite Bible commentators, and now I get to share some of his great insights with everyone! Here is the link to access them http://litteralchristianlibrary.wetpaint.com/page/Letters+of+St.+Paul

Still looking for translators

I started a webpage some time ago looking for volunteers to help me in a project to translate commentaries of the Church Fathers from Greek and Latin into English. Thanks to Peter Papoutsis it has taken a start. I would love more to join in, no matter how much or how little they can devote to it. I translated a few fragments, while Peter translated a fragment and is working on another one. If anyone feels that they might like to do one then let me know, I can fix you right up! My email is jlitteral5@roadrunner.com

Great day for Litteral's Christian Library

Today was a very active day for the site, reaching 631 hits by 10:30pm! It has been a very fruitful month for the site, reaching numbers that the site has not seen before! The Daily Mass Readings page always gets lots of hits, and lately the addition of the Holy Orthodox Bible has attracted many people, and my project of the Hebrew version of Matthew has been getting lots of hits even though I have just started the project, I can't wait to have it finished!

I beg everyone for their prayers for the site to be fruitful and to reach as many people as possible, all for the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

UFC 104

It was a good UFC lastnight. The fight between Machida and Shogun was very close, and proved that Lyoto was actually human! Many people thought that Shogun should have won the fight, but I think that the commentators seemed bias and actually influenced many peoples perception. It probably would not hurt to watch the fight with the volume off just to watch it without the influence of the commentators. But either way both fighters looked great!

Cain looked awesome out there. Ben showed alot of heart but he was in there with the new bad boy of MMA. Brock and the rest of the heavyweights have to notice Cain!

Litteral's Christian Library

The website has been very fruitful this year, reaching nearly 60 thousand hits so far this year! I owe so much credit to Janine who has put so much time into the Daily Mass Readings page, which happens to be the most viewed part of the site. I am also thankful for Peter Papoutsis who has allowed me to put his translation, the Holy Orthodox Bible, on my site, and he has also offered to translate some Greek ancient Bible commentaries, in which he has already translated one already.

I am so excited about the future of the site, God has done so much with it so far, and I know that he has great plans for it still. It usually gets over 200 hits a day and has even passed 600 some days. I would love to see it get up to 1000 a day or more!

While I am working on a project right now to provide the ancient Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew with a fresh translation and linked lexicon, I am still listening to God for His guidance in order to provide the best Christian resources on the web!

Going to crack down

Going to crack back down on my fitness routine. Cold weather coming on and the crummy weather is depressing enough without letting my waist get bigger. Diet is my struggle. Tomorrow will be a fresh start. I plan to get back to my perferred weight of 175-180, I'm about 190 right now. I will continue my martial arts training and weight training, but I plan to throw in some extra cardio.

Working on the Hebrew version of Matthew

I have been working on an Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew. I'm not sure how long it will take me on this project, but I am very excited about it! I am linking each Hebrew word to the lexical words, and I am also translating the Hebrew text as I go. It can be found here http://litteralchristianlibrary.wetpaint.com/page/Hebrew+Matthew
