Bibles


     A few weeks ago I was at the tool store. Upon leaving I saw a trio at a van with a sign "Free Bibles". I stopped by, we chatted for a bit and I left with a King James  that I keep an my car and have been reading on my lunch breaks.
     
     Last week my Jehovah's Witness friends stopped by and we met and talked as we always do. One asked if I have a Bible and I showed him the KJV in my car. He said he had a New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures that I could have if I wanted it. Now, I don't agree with the Witnesses 100% on everything but I jumped on this "plain talk" version of the Bible like  duck on a June bug. After all, the KJV was written some 500 years ago. I must admit some of the vernacular can be puzzling.at times.
     To make a long story short, I've been reading my"new" Bible at lunch breaks bit at times I will go back to the old standard KJV when I guess for lack of better way of saying, "I need to hear the word of GOD.

    I'm not gonna preach and tell you to read the Bible. All I ask is this:  Open your heart to God and Jesus. Love one another as you would be loved.

LOVE!
