[sword-devel] Bible in a Year Email app

[David Overcash]

To my knowledge there have been similiar programs, however, I think your 
idea stands apart from them in it's form of email delivery.  What I 
would do if I were you would be to create a program as you are that 
looks up a sword verse, and sends an email containing that verse...  
However, have that program grab it's list of people to send to from a 
mySQL database which will be on the web, and have a website where people 
can sign up to put their email in that database...  make sense?
