Before the electronic gadgets and distractions of today, the long summer days of my boyhood were brightened each week when the bookmobile arrived. It was a bus lined with book-filled shelves that were transported from the regional library to neighborhoods so that those without transportation could access them. Because of the bookmobile, I spent many a happy summer day reading books that would otherwise have been inaccessible. To this day, I am thankful for the love of books that the bookmobile fostered in me.
Some Bible scholars say that the apostle Paul had a love of books and studied them till the end of his life. He wrote in his final letter, Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you comeand the books, especially the parchments (2 Tim. 4:13). The books he was asking for could very well have been the Old Testament and/or some of his own writings.
Im sure that Pauls pursuit of knowledge was more than intellectual curiosity or entertainment. It was the pursuit of Christ that drove Paul. His goal: That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death (Phil 3:10). I pray that this same pursuit will drive us today.
Read: Philippians 3:7-14

You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you.
You're the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful.
You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong - even when they won't admit it.
Hope your evening is going swell. (((hugs))) Janey

I really think I’m Parcheesi.
My first response - Chess. Then I took the quiz. It said Chess. I knew that.
"You are Chess...DAMN... Why don't that damn RINOs see that we conservatives should be the ones making the strategies? Not them, with their "Candyland" and "Shoots and Ladders" minds, who keep getting shot down by the Demoncrat players of "Monopoly," who cheat by sneaking Hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place when they only bought one house, and in fact only own the purple properties and the Public Utilities.You are brilliant and shrewd. You can often predict what people will do in the future.
