Okay I wrote this post awhile ago just in case I had a day when I needed to post was to lazy to write anything =)  The day has come.  Plus I want to comment some of ya'll, hopefully I'll have time!

I got this from somebody else's blog and thought it was cute!

Psalm 16:9-11
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone.
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
Is this something to make you go…hmm…where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think, "Where are my priorities?"
And, NO DROPPED CALLS!!!

I don't have a cell phone but I get the point!  lol!
