    • Kindle case – highly recommend!

    Posted on January 18, 2012 by Paul and/or Jennifer Dare

    Just received my case for my Kindle touch in the mail today!  I was worried a bit about its quality as it was coming from an Amazon seller (not Amazon direct), from outside the US and because there are about a billion case options out there so I knew I was taking a risk deciding on anything.  But I can say that I’m highly satisfied with this thing -

    It’s genuine leather which was a surprise given the cheaper price.

    Best part is the nice built-in stand as part of the case.  Looks like it will sit nicely on my car’s dashboard and will really help when I’m driving and reading.

    The magnets seem strong enough to hold it closed and overall, it didn’t seem too heavy to hold while reading.  I bought it from HERE and ordered it on 1/9/12 and got it today (1/17).  Not bad considering it came from the U.K.

    If you have a touch, I’d recommend this case.  No light on this one, but I didn’t really want one and all the reviews of cases with lights were unimpressive.  This will keep my wife’s awesome Christmas gift to me safe and make me look all professional when I walk into my next staff meeting (while I read Ben Franklin’s autobiography).

    • Notable quotable

    • "Being different is not legalism - legalism is when you try to earn your way to God through your good works - it's just holy living." -Laura Mouro
    • "I think the devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements:
      noise, hurry and crowds . Satan is quite aware of the power of silence."-Jim Elliot

    • "I have learned that God’s silence to my questions is not a door slammed in my face. I may not have the answers—but I do have him."-Dave Dravecky
    • "Sin makes government necessary; sin also makes it necessary that government be limited."-Paul Edwards

    • "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else."-CS Lewis

    • "Being a stay at home Mom is much like recovering from an addiction. An addiction to thinking it's all about me"-Abbey Bertolone

    • "It is better to be without bread in your houses than without Bibles, for the words of God's mouth are and should be to you more than your necessary food. But what will it avail you to have Bibles in your houses, if you do not use them? To have the great things of God's law and gospel written to you, if you count them as a strange thing? You look daily into your shop-books, and perhaps converse much with the news books, and shall your Bibles be thrown by as an almanac out of date?"
      -Matthew Henry

    • Biblical definition of marriage: "...two sinful people pledging to live together with all of their faults, for the rest of their lives"
      -Gary Thomas in Sacred Marriage

    • "The gospel teaches a "new way to be human," which, in reality, is nothing more than returning to the "old way to be human," the way that God had originally ordained before sin. " -Eric Rauch
