Amazing Dictionary And Thesaurus For Windows. For Non-Frequent Flyers Only.

WordWeb is a really neat program for Windows.  It adds a pop-up dictionary and 
thesaurus to just about any application, and it's both quick and easy to use.  
It's brilliant if you're writing any form of document, and especially good to 
help the kids with their homework too.

The download is around 21 MB, and it's free of malware nasties according to Web 
of Trust and VirusTotal.  It runs on Windows XP to 8.  Once installed, the 
default hotkey combination is Ctrl-Alt-W.  Just press this key combination in 
whatever application you're using (I'm using Word and you get an instant 
definition of the word that your cursor is on.

WordWeb contains definitions for more than 150,000 root words, and there are 
5000 built-in audio clips to help with difficult pronunciations too.  

The program is free, although the licencing conditions for the free version 
(the Pro one costs $29) are interesting.  You have to promise that you don't 
take more than 2 airline flights per year.  Which means you can save the planet 
and get free software too.  Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

I found the program accessability t o be excelent when using Window-eyes, 
System Access and JAWS.

Verse and Thought

Luke 5:35
"The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they 
will fast in those days." (ESV) 

 

Thought: Spiritual Fasting

Jesus affirmed that after his death fasting would be an appropriate practice 
for his followers. Spiritual fasting clearly has a place, a purpose, and a 
unique benefit for God's people today. 

Fasting requires self-control and discipline as we deny the natural desires of 
the flesh. It allows us to move our focus away from the physical things of this 
world and concentrate on God. Put differently, fasting directs our hunger 
toward God. It draws us close to him. 

Fasting also demonstrates a profound need for God's help and guidance through 
complete dependence upon him. Most importantly, fasting is not a way to earn 
God's favor or get him to do something for us. Rather, the purpose is to 
produce a transformation in us-a clearer, more focused attention and dependence 
upon God. 

 

Fasting doesn't necessarly mean for us to deny the flesh's physical needs 
concern ourselves but give extra of ourselves through talents or service to 
others so their life may be more comfortable.  There through such actions, 
God's message might reach into the hearts of those otherwise doubting or having 
never hearing of Jesus's sacrivice in for mankind.
