 Diary Of A Bible

January:  A busy time for me. Most of the family decided to read me through this year. They kept me busy for the first two weeks, but they have forgotten me now.

FEBRUARY:  Clean-up time. I was dusted yesterday and put in my place. My owner did use me for a few minutes last week. He had been in an argument and was looking up some references to prove he was right.

MARCH:  Had a busy day first of the month. My owner was elected president of the PTA & used me to prepare a speech.

APRIL:  Grandpa visited us this month. He kept me on his lap for an hour reading from 1 Peter 5:5-7. He seems to think more of me than do some people in my own household.

MAY:  I have a few green stains on my pages. Some spring flowers were pressed in my pages.

JUNE:  I look like a scrapbook. They have stuffed me full of newspaper clippings - one of the girls got married.


JULY:
They put me in a suitcase today. I guess we are off on vacation. I wish I could stay home; I know I'll be closed up in this thing for at least two weeks.

AUGUST:  Still in the suitcase.

SEPTEMBER:  Back home at last and in my old familiar place. I have a lot of company. Two women's magazines and four comic books are stacked on top of me. I wish I could be read as much as they are.

OCTOBER:  They read me a little bit today. One of them is very sick. Right now I am sitting in the center of the coffee table. I think the Pastor is coming by for a visit.

NOVEMBER:  Back in my old place. Somebody asked today if I were a scrapbook.

DECEMBER:  The family is busy getting ready for the holidays. I guess I'll be covered up under wrapping paper & packages again...just as I am every Christmas.

A New Year is upon us. Will it be better than last year? Was last year a good one, or was it a bad year?   I remember one thing my mother always said. "Life is what you make it."   Well I say this, do the best you can with the cards that you have to play.  You can't do much about the joker that is dealing the cards. 
 
Now was last year bad or good?  Guess it all depends on the cards of life.  Is the next year going to be good or bad? Again it will be the cards  the dealer lays in front of you. We never know for sure when you get bad cards, that it may have not been a blessing.  Kind of like the fellow that had something to stop him from getting home on time.   He missed the bus you know?  What happened was the bus c rashed on the trip.  He might have been hurt or killed if he had been on time.
 
I think there was good days last year for any of us.  I also think there was some bad days.  Next year will be the same.  One should not always think nothing but bad happened.  There was some good also.  Remember this, God never promised a Rose Garden here on earth with out some thorns on the Roses.  He would like for us to have had a real nice garden, but Adam and Eve missed up. 
 
Also remember if every thing was perfect, we wouldn't really have a need for God.  Come to think about it I guess that might be the big problem.  There seems to be a lot that thinks they are all powerful, and have no longer any need of God. Maybe that is why we are having a lot of bad days.  Wars, storms and such.
 
Happy New Year my friends.  May the blessings be many and find your door. 
 
Bill Walker
