FWIW the Bible (the silly book) speaks of this exact thing as signs of
his coming. Just saying.


I'm already here.


That was pretty funny, but you know you will pay for that one day. ;-)


Pay for what, a freakin' bible?
Can't you just steal one of the gideon versions from a motel these days?

For some reason the word freaking followed by the word Bible just
seems a tad too much. I say that half serious and half being funny.

Myself - I have never been a Bible collector. I do know two people
that have an extraordinary collection though. I don't understand the
thinking behind it but I'm sure many don't understand collecting
radios or stamps either. I found out some years back the first Bible
my parents gave to me (other than those little ones that fit in your
hand when you're little) - - I had wondered why the gold lettering on
the outside ie;front cover and binding had worn off.

Other than that, the book itself looks somewhat new though it's around
thirty two years old. An oldtimer in his early eighties saw my Bible
and told me that it was brown morrocan leather and that there was no
known lettering on the outside of a Bible that would outlast that
particular leather. I found that pretty cool, at least it doesn't
telegraph that it's a Bible and I don't have to worry about Bob
stealing it. ;-P FWIW it's the 1611 KJV
