The Bible is a book that refuses to die; no matter how it is treated, it remains alive. It may sit on a shelf, covered with dust, but the pages are not tarnished; they are as fresh as new-fallen snow. People want the Bible placed in plain view; they have their reasons. What about you? I keep my Bible close at hand; I never know when a question comes my way that I don't understand. The Bible may sit for years and years, but unlike we humans, it never grows weary, nor hides behind fear. These poems may bring a smile or perhaps a teardrop from one's eye.
