Qumran- on a Kindle®? The Dead Sea Scrolls go Digital
It’s 2011 & you can now read the Dead Sea Scrolls online, or on an iPhone, or an iPad, or a Kindle. Believed by most scholars to have been written between the years 100 BC and 100 AD, these priceless scrolls are now digitized and there for the examination of anyone.
The Bible? There’s an app for that.
And, as is most often the case with anything that’s really BIG news, we have a shepherd boy to thank. The year was 1947, and the first seven of the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a cave by a Bedouin shepherd boy, totally by accident, while searching for a sheep who had strayed from his flock.
(I know, RIGHT? It’s so perfect. If Spielberg had made this story up we’d all be like, “Come on, Steve. Really? It’s a bit precious, don’t you think?”) But it’s true!

Why should grown-ups be the only ones to benefit from self-help books, positive self-talk, and the occasional Marianne Williamson seminar? I like to think of a child's first potty as his or her own private seat at the Learning Annex. So pull up a potty, a positive attitude, & grab some TP, 'cause your kid is about to be so awesome at this potty thing, they will never poop the same again. Eh-ver. Trust me. For reals. I'm about to BLOW THEIR BABY MINDS!
