This blog started as a journal, became a one way conversation with my friend Aimee, and is now a way for me to explore myself and how I engage with life.

a bible to call our own.
For my high school graduation I asked for a bible, which means I went to the Christian store in town with Josh and picked out a bible for my parents to give me. The bible I chose was Every Man's Bible. I went with this one because the study portions of it and the extras seemed fitting for me at the time. Then I had an ESV but I lost that in Africa. My desire is to find a good bible at a used book store. I don't know what people do with their old bibles but I feel like giving a decent conditioned bible to the used book store seems practical. I want a used one because there's something intriguing to me about having a bible that once served some else in their relationship with Christ. To grow intimate with Lord through the same bible that He used to grow intimate with another brother or sister, that to me illustrates the essence of the Body. I like the idea of faith continued and passed along. I'm hoping this weekend I can find a used bible.Who knows maybe God will speak to someone and they'll just give me their bible?
