LOLOLOL! I love that joke! Indeed, we are a funny bunch. Services never ended in my home church. Everyone carried a huge Bible, highlighter or pen and note pad.

And there was the row of little blue-haired ladies (I'm becoming one now). When the minister would say something that didn't sit right with them, their eyebrows would raise and he would groan. LOL!

I am a member of a Southern Baptist Church. Years ago I was Gideon's Auxiliary, taught Sunday School, helped in Lay Renewals and the whole nine yards. But now I spend considerable time visiting other churches also and am interested in home Bible studies and personal ministries.

The old Bibles, now almost unreadable from margin notes and bulging from inserts, are stacked up here in an old bookcase just for future reference. But I find I never use the old Bibles anymore. The Scriptures are alive to me now.

I love the work of the Gideons. Just placing those Bibles about for a moment that will change someone's life, someone's eternity.

I am reading all these post and links, we may be kindred spirits.
