Meet my Bible!

I was at Jessica's Journal and saw her bible. She said she got the idea from Amy's Place. I was actually going to post about my bible as a sort of farewell to it. I have been looking for a new one. I am considering a parralel bible with the NAS and the Amplified...I'm not sure.

Here are the questions:



1) How old is your Bible?

It's as old as my new birth, I guess. So that makes it about 5 years old. Not too old in the sense of bibles, but well used and falling apart! lol





2) Why did you choose this Bible?

It was the same as my hubby's and had ample room for my plethora of notes.





3) Do you hightlight/mark passages?

Oh, YES! I highlight, underline, mark, re-mark, cirlce, make little doodles to remind me where verses are...Like the one with a dove and serpent, I drew a dove...I also started to mark when we study a book in the bible. I write the date by the title.



4) If so what is your system?

Salvation verses are red for the blood, eternal security verses are yellow light the light from the sun that seems to go on forever, blue is for any verses related to any baptism or anti-water baptism verse, green is for kingdom reward verses because if you tend to a plant it will be green just like if we tend to our souls and Him, God will bless with rewards, and then I use orange or purple for verses that are just special to me



5) Do you have notebooks to record things?

Yes, I like to take notes in pretty journals that I pick up at thrift stores or rummages



6) If so how many and what do you record?

I write anything and everything my pastors say that touches my heart. When I need a booster, I can pick up my journals and see what the Spirit pressed on my leaders hearts to share with me, that in turn pricked my heart enough for me to take note of it. (Sometimes when I am tired at church I have written over and over "stay awake" so I would doze off...shhh...that's my secret! lol) Oh, I write our two weekly memory verses from bible study in there too.



7) Where is your favourite spot to read your Bible?

Next to my hubby...or with someone else on the sidewalk while out witnessing...



8) Any thing special about your Bible you want to share?

As special as my Bible is, I wish I had more of it in my heart and head...It won't wear out there!





Ok, so that is it. All the questions answered. Hope you've enjoyed meeting my bible. My friend, the only truth I know... I always tell my kids, "while, unfortunately, you can never always believe what even I say, you can always believe what God says becasue He is God, and He will never lie..."
