Pretty Sobering...if you ask me!

A Diary of a Bible
author unknown

January:  A busy time for me.  Most of the family decided to read me through this year.  They kept me busy for two weeks.  They have forgotten me now.
February:  My owner used me for a few minutes last week.  He had been in an argument and was looking up a reference to prove his point.
March:  Grandpa visited us.  He kept me on his lap for an hour as he read I Corinthians 13.  I was used a lot by Grandpa.
April:  I had one busy day.  My owner was appointed leader of some project at church, so he used me.  Got to go to a church service for the first time this year...on Easter.
May:  I have a few new green stains on my pages.  some early spring flowers were pressed in me.
June:  I look like a scrapbook.  They have me full of clippings from the newspaper.  One of the girls got married.
July:  They put me in a suitcase today.  I guess we are off on a vacation.  I wish I could stay home because I know I'll be in this dark thing for the whole time.
August:  I'm still in the suitcase.
September:  Back home again in my old place.  Have lots of company.  Two romance novels and four comic books are on top of me.  The tv guide is next to me.  I wish I could get the attention they get.
October:  They used me a little today.  One of them is very sick.  At this moment I am shined up and on the middle of the coffee table.  The pastor must be coming.
November:  I'm back in my old place.
December:  They are getting me ready for Christmas.  I'll be covered with wrapping paper and presents.  Well, I always have the New Year to look forward to...
