I have added a couple of new features to Light-work. You might have noticed in the column to the right the list of Popular Pages. This is a list of the top ten most read posts at L-W in the last 24 hours. It shows what other visitors to L-W are reading, kind of like a fish-finder to see what folks are nibbling on.
The second feature is VERY COOL. It's called a "Blogbar Search Widget" (the name could use a little work, kind of reminds me of something a civilized elephant would love). Light-work has only been around for about a year - but it already contains almost 200 separate posts and over 500 comments. So, trying to find a specific article or comment from the archives can be tedious and frustrating. Yes, the category listing helps. But only so much. The Blogbar Search Widget is located in the far right column on ALL content pages - the one at left is a "non-working sample" like the merchandise at Wal-Mart at the electronics counter. When Blogbar searches the entire L-W database, it can show you a list with excerpts containing EVERY appearance of your search term found on any page at Light-work.
Give it a test run. For example, enter [Jer. 29:11] as your search phrase, select [this site] and [google] and click [ok]. You will see a list of every post at L-W where Jer. 29:11 is mentioned. Nice! Try another. Let's say you have made comments at L-W and you want to find one. Suppose your comments have all been submitted under the name [MJC]. So make that your search phrase, click [ok] and you will see a list of all references to and comments posted by MJC! Gratifying!
So, next time you're thinking "what was the name of that post where Jim said something totally amazing that I can't remember," ask blogbar! (It must not have been THAT amazing if it's so forgettable. By the way, I did a search for "totally amazing" and only one article came up. Not much totally amazing material here to chose from, I guess. But, I digress...) Just enter a word or phrase as your query and let the Blogbar Search Widget do a quick reading of all 150,000 words for you. Voila - instant illumination! Definitely a tool any civilized elephant could love, especially those who occasionally forget!

Caroline,
I did a search of the phrase "fear not" in the NASB version and it is only found in the Bible 6 times. The exact phrase "do not fear" is found 59 times. Hope this helps!
