The Turquoise Table

There’s an app for that…

It’s no secret.  I heart my iphone.  I’m still not sure if this mobile wonder makes me more effective or if it’s just a time suck. I’m guessing a little of both.

And the apps! Oh the apps.  Who would ever have imagined such a concept? If you have a need want, there is an app.  I won’t tell you how many pages of apps I have…

It will save you from judging me.

I keep my page(s) of apps organized by category.  On one page I have apps for things like movies, restaurants, wine, and travel.  Sadly that page has a lot of virtual dust on it.  I really should make dinner reservations more often.

On another page I’ve collected entertaining apps for the Littles.  Apps like ABC Animals, Crazy Eye, and Bubbles are great temporary distractions for a cranky two year old who is DONE with being at the grocery store.

And then I have the valuable resources page. Despite what it sounds like, I am NOT trying to justify my iphone addiction. This is where the Wikipanion, Google, New York Times and Bible apps live.  Did you know there was a Bible app? I use it every day.  You can get it here.

A couple of days ago I came across a new-to-me app called Bible Shaker.  You pick a topic, shake the iphone, and a verse related to the chosen topic appears.  Some of the topics and verses are taken out of context and I certainly wouldn’t rely on this app for spiritual wisdom.  However, I would be lying if I said it didn’t please me to no end when the Littles chose ‘children’ as a topic this is the verse they find:

bibleshaker

Now I’m justifying my iphone.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
