losing a bible in the holy land

I lost my bible in the Holy Land. That sounds like the beginning of a joke, but I really did lose my bible somewhere near Nazereth. I was ticked at first, but now that just sounds too perfect. I went to the Holy Land and lost my bible.

So I've been on this mission to find another bible to use for the remainder of the trip. I'd been going through the Gospels prior to and wanted to complete them while I'm here.

I have had the most difficult time finding one. I have easily been to 10-15 stores in search of a bible. I'd even settle with the King James version at this point. So I went to church this morning and asked following the service if I could have a bible because I had lost mine. I offered some money, but they told me that it wasn't policy to allow bibles to be purchased or taken from their church.

Maxwell was there when I asked and was really ticked off that they said no. We went on our own for the remainder of the day and got to talking about it this evening. He thought it was madness, at which I pulled out a bible I had stolen from the church. He couldn't stop laughing. I promise to return it. I just want to read some scripture while I'm here, can you blaim a guy?

There are so many sermons I could pull from this simple tale it's not even funny.
