B is for Books

I love books!  I have often judged places we’ve called home by the public libraries.  Columbus, OH may still be my favorite.  I loved getting my new books for college each semester – paying for them not so much.

A bargain shelf at a bookshelf or even in a discount or grocery store is often a temptation too great for me to resist.  If you give me free books – I will love you dearly for a very looong time.

I enjoy reading nonfiction as well as some fiction.  I’m really picky about my fiction, though.  I’ve admitted to never reading some of the classics and there are others I absolutely can’t stand.  You might think less of me if I name those, so I’ll just keep that to myself for now.  I might be thrown out of the blogging world if that information is leaked.

My all-time go to book, however, is the BIBLE.  Shocking, I know.  Why wouldn’t it be?  It has everything in it that I could ever need to get me through this life – even if I just want a good thrilling tale at times (Do you know the one about Paul and the shipwreck?!?)

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 

Psalm 119:11 (NIV)

¹⁴ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing those from whom you learned, ¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:14-17
