The weird Christmas gift thread....

RevSmoke · 12-26-2008, 04:20 PM

I have this Bible, had it for about 24 years now. It has all my notes in it from Sermon and Bible Study preparation, and from my personal reading time. It has been repaired with red duct tape.

Anyway, someone decided to give me a Bible - they figured I could use a new one since mine is duct-taped together.

Funny thing is, every time a new translation into English comes out, I get a copy so that I can compare it to other English translations - and to the original languages.

I thought it was kind of sweet that they thought I needed a new Bible. I guess I'll need to go over to their house and explain to them why they won't be seeing me with their gift too much.
