Those old Bibles can be blessings indeed.The one I use to this day - the one with the torn page that needs tape now - is a Crusade KJV Topical Reference Edition. It was given to me by a Pastor at the Baptist Student Union where I stayed for a time in college, and it still has his name engraved on the bottom, "Stewart Thibault."
I will see him again in Heaven some day I believe, and let him know that the Bible he gave me 35 years ago is something I have used my entire life, and received many blessings from, thanks to his generosity.

I guess I have a couple of dozen Bibles aside from computer editions.
As you may recall I read three regularly for at least two reasons. One is for the different perspectives and the other is to keep up my Spanish and German. I have not had a friend who spoke any German in a great many years. Spanish is more common, even in Oklahoma, but my last Spanish speaking friend, a Mexican native, died last year.
as I read each day I always have a pencil to make new annotations to the margins and I also periodically copy old notes from one Bible to another. Study is not the ultimately answer, but God does at times use study to show us something we need to see.
Give God the glory!
Read and love every word my dear sister . Yes indeed , the inspired words of our Lord are as honey to the tasteThanks guys for the advice - there wasn't much of a selection there but I got a KJV.
And it came with presents in the middle! They can stay. Card is a verse: proverbs 3:5-6
i got to witness a testimony!
This is a cool one.
Older gentleman near me. He said, "Want to know how our Holy Father works?"
I was like ??
He said he was thinking about getting this book on prayer for his adult children. Came to the store and found four copies of that same book sitting stacked up at the top shelf in Goodwill. He didnt plan it but he went on rejoicing in the father right there in the aisle. Rejoiced with him.
So awesome- the Lord blessed him and I got to see it!
Yall wanna see something wonderful . Let me go see if i can find it . While i am looking for it
i have only one request from all . PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD . Yes indeed . Worthy of all praise and Honor He truly is .
And whoever feels like dancing like king david did , LEAP up and dance those praises Round the house .
I couldn't read that and understand it.Its all three versions of english . Old saxon , middle and early modern .
When i read the old and middle english , yep i see lambs through all generations .
Ditto the German. Because of the grammar involved when one is able to understand it the old KJV better express what is written in the original languages than flowing modern English which speaks well when properly understood by all. Modern English works well when speaking because of inflections of the voice and body language. Writing it as well is not easy because too many people really cannot do it.I don't read Spanish, I only pick up a few things here and there. But as I recall, whenever I looked into translating out the Spanish Bibles I was astonished to see how good some of the translation from the original was; better than with English Bibles sometimes.
No clue as to the German, however.
For many years I leaped and danced and shouted for the glory of God as David did. This old physical body is unable to do much of the physical any more but the Spirit in me remains willing because it is the Spirit of God which never grows weary or feeble.Yall wanna see something wonderful .
