Notes on the Bible, on building a reading habit, and on what to look for in a family app.

• Which Bible translation should my family read?
  KJV, BSB, NIV, ESV and the rest, compared for families. What actually differs between translations, why some are free, and what to hand a seven-year-old versus a teenager.
• What to check before your child uses a Bible app
  A ten-minute checklist for parents: age ratings that contradict the terms, stranger messaging, where private prayers are stored, what the AI does with a distressing message, and how many taps to a purchase.
• David and Goliath: what the chapter actually says
  The shield-bearer everyone forgets, the brother who accuses him, the forty days of nothing, and the one verse the whole chapter is built around. Quoted from 1 Samuel 17.
• The Bible habit that survives week three
  Most daily Bible plans die between day nine and day twenty-five. Six mechanical fixes: name the moment, start at five minutes, do not begin at Genesis, and decide now what a missed day means.
