My Good Book(s).......

My Bibles.  Each One Has The Same Message, But Each One Has Its Own Distinct Personality

When I was 9 years old, my parents enrolled me in Confirmation classes.  When I was officially confirmed, I was presented with a small, black leather bible with a zipper to protect it when not in use.  Unfortunately for me, I left the church the first chance I got and never even saw that bible again until a couple of years ago.

I Was Given This Little Zippered Bible When I was Confirmed at Age Nine

I Was Presented This Bible Three Years Ago After I had Served As President Of Our Sunday School Class

My Daughter Gave Me This Bible Several Years Ago

This Wonderful Old King James Version Belonged to My Grandfather Clinton

Fortunately for me, I rediscovered Jesus in later life, even though He had never left me.  At that time, I began to discover other bibles in my life---like those of my grandfather Clinton and new ones presented to me by my daughter and wife and a friend.

Funny thing, you know---I have found that each of these books has its own distinct personality, even though the message is exactly the same.
