Did I tell you Matthew’s Bible got stolen at church? Well, anyway...we think it did. He left it in the sanctuary and someone picked it up and instead of taking it to the lost and found like they should’ve done, apparently they kept it. Maybe for safe-keeping...but it’s been a couple of months now and he’s had posters up at the church with a picture of a Bible like it with a $10 reward...no luck.
It’s a shame because it was the Bible my parents gave to Steve before he was a Christian and he started reading it and it’s what basically started him on his Christian walk. It has an inscription to Steve in it from my parents from when he graduated from college the first time. It also has a notation in it from when Matthew was born.
The intention was Steve was going to give that Bible to Matthew then get another one and then when Joshua gets older, give the second one to him. That way they’d both have a Bible with Steve (and their) names on it. (Matthew Steven, Joshua Philip. Steve is Steven Philip)
Anyway, I was looking for a Bible for Matthew as a replacement...NASB, leatherbound, thumb tabs would be nice...
