CNN.com - Bible group spreads word by SMS - Oct 6, 2005

CNN.com - Bible group spreads word by SMS - Oct 6, 2005:
" 'In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth,' according to a new version of the Bible translated into the text message language of cell phone users.

The Bible Society in Australia launched on Thursday its translation of all 31,173 verses of the Bible in the modern, abbreviated language of text messages, or SMS...."

I can just see these people entering text on their cell phones using only a thumb....

They may be on to something, though. Cell phones are ubiquitous and can reach into areas where the printed Bible is inconvenient due to persecution.
