My bro was just telling me about how he uses Windows Live Writer as a component in making his increasing popular devotionals and it hit me that this type of integration of a blogging platform with a Bible reader program could help some who would like to get into journaling.

One of the issues with a program/service like Windows Live Writer (WLW) is that its a blogging program ment to publish to a blog. Its not specifically meant to write into as a journal. Then again, one could set up a private blog, and then have an online repository of their journaled writings, and then access that from anyplace (searchable any way).

WLW does have the feature of being usable offline. Meaning, one can view previous posts after they have been published, whether one is online or not.

But back to the Bible integration, how could this work?

Take a program like WordSearch. Excellent study materials, and a solid overall program. Add the capabilities of a solid program like WLW, and you have a Bible reader that has a notes program that links into and out of it personal notes. And gives the added benefit of making some personal commentary available publically.

Then again, our personal thoughts about God’s Word are just that – personal. Leveraging the electronic services such as WLW and WordSearch, one could keep things personal, and gain a bit of digital posterity towards those thoughts.
