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 - I had a busy day the first of the month. My owner was
elected president of the P.T.A. and used me to prepare a speech.
April - Grandpa visited us this month. He kept me on his lap for
an hour reading First Corinthians 13. He seems to think more of
me than do some other 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 was 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.
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 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 and packages again
- just as I am every Christmas.
