When I read books on my Kindle, I like to highlight interesting sections. These
highlights are stored in a file called My Clippings.txt on the Kindle. This
project takes that file as input, and transforms it to a JSON, Markdown, or
org-mode output. Other formats are planned (e.g. tex bibliography, sql, etc).

The great point, then, is, that we are consecrated and dedicated to God, and, therefore, should not henceforth think, speak, design, or act, without a view to his glory.
