Blogger Friend School Assignment #13

Blogger Friend School is back in session! Thank You, Nancy! I was surprised at how much I missed doing this. Okay, here's assignment #13- I actually have about 5 Bibles, but three are in storage until we move next month, so I'll answer with the ones that I have.
How old is your Bible? Thompson Chain is about 20 years old (Wow! I didn't realize that until now!) and my Schofield is about 14 years old. Both are KJV.

Why did you chose this Bible? My Thomson Chain was given to me by parents when I was about 15 years old and it was my first "serious" Bible. They bought it at United Pentecostal Church Retreat in Berchtesgaden, Germany. My Schofield, I chose to buy when I wanted to do more studying besides referencing back and forth. I bought it when my husband and I moved to Hawaii. It was the first Bible I ever bought for myself and my first time being on my own and grown. I guess it was a milestone for me.
Do you highlight/mark passages in your Bible? YES! But, I only use colored pencils because the the highlighters and markers bleed through the thin pages.
If so, what is your system for marking passages? Most of the time I mark passages that God has specifically spoken to me through or dealt with me about. Then when I read again, I know that particular verse has a purpose or point for me to remember. I like to color a "promise verse" in the color of a rainbow.

Do you have notebooks to record things? YES!
If so, how many and what do you record? I have quite a few. I have a Sunday School Notebook, Sermon Notebook, Just For Me Notebook, and a Home School Notebook. I like to record things that God has given me an understanding of so, I won't forget and I want to pass those things to my children.
Where is your favorite spot to read your Bible? For now, it's my bedroom on my side of the bed after my personal prayer time. When I move, my spot will be in front of the fireplace : )
Are there any special thoughts about your Bible you want to share? I love the Word of God- it is has the answer for ANYTHING that comes up in life. Each one of my Bibles has something different to offer, but when it all boils down, it is the Word of God and..."Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness."
(2 Timothy 3:16) I appreciate my Bibles because I know there are many people on this earth that desire the ability to have at least one and yet, they are not given the opportunity to. Thank God for His Word!
