I love this!
He is so right!
For what it's worth, here's a video clip of my Greek New Testament as of 8:00 this morning.
As you can see, it's in a major state of disrepair. I've already had it rebound three times. I need to do it again but I can't find anyone local who I can trust to do it for me and I just can't bring myself to put it in the mail and risk getting it lost. I've had this Bible for decades. I literally couldn't stand to part with it. In case you've never noticed, I heavily mark it. This includes the personal reflections of my mind and heart. One day the book will be passed on to my children. I hope they'll enjoy reading my notes and seeing my chicken scratch on its pages. I can see them laughing or wondering at things I've written. I hope they will find it a priceless treasure, a family heirloom. In its pages they will always be able to find their father or grandfather as they travel along the same path of life that so delighted me.
(I realize some people can't bring themselves to write in their Bible. They feel like they're putting graffiti on the Mona Lisa or Michelangelo's statue of David. Believe me, I get that view and respect it!)
Anyways, a shout out to John Miles for the video. If you've never visited his Youtube channel, you might want to give it the once over. Lots of good, edifying stuff there.
