DIARY OF A BIBLERevised and adapted, from Gospel Tract Society, Inc.
(I publish this annually due to its enduring relevance.)
January 15 -- I've been neglected for several days. The first week of the New Year my owner read me daily. Not so much now.
February 2 -- Clean-up day. I was dusted along with other items in the room, then returned to the shelf.
February 24 -- My owner opened me for a few minutes to look up a verse. (He went to Sunday school today.)
April 10 -- I was conspicuously placed on the coffee table. The preacher came by for a visit. I was returned to the shelf afterwards.
May 12 -- Busy day! After being assigned to give a devotional talk, my owner desperately searched me to locate two Scriptures. Took him over an hour.
June 5 – Resting on Grandma's lap; she's here for a visit. As she read Isaiah 53, tears fell on my pages.
June 6 – Back on Grandma's lap. She spent 90 minutes reading from Psalms and John.
June 7-11 -- I've been on Grandma's lap every day. It's nice to be needed!
June 12 – Grandma’s gone, and I'm back on the shelf. She squeezed me before leaving.
July 20 -- I was dusted, along with other books, and then returned to the shelf.
August 1 -- Hooray! I was placed in a suitcase. We’re taking a vacation!
August 7 -- I'm still in the suitcase – stuffy and dark in here.
August 12 -- Still in the suitcase, although everything else has been removed repeatedly.
August 15 -- Home again and back on the shelf. Don’t know why I went.
September 9 – Its dark. I'm buried under several magazines, a novel and a hat.
October 18 -- My owner’s wife dug me out and took me to a ladies Bible class. She returned me to the shelf as soon as we got home
November 10 -- I was taken to church today and held up to be counted. I was never opened, so not sure why I went.
December 16 -- Dusted again. I'm lonesome. Wonder what Grandma is doing.
December 31 -- It's been a lonely year. However, I expect to be read for a week or two. Wish I were as important as the phone, paper or TV remote.
