revelation

You know what?

This might sound really shallow, but I think this makes sense.

You don't wear shoes you don't like, right? You don't style your hair so that you're embarrassed to go out in public, right? (Unless you're my sister ca. 2001-- "Perm"). You aren't going to be amped to go into work with a tattered brief case or man bag...

So, you're probably not motivated to bring your Bible out in public if it has some weird graphics of Jesus as a fair skin clean shaven man in a bed sheet ensemble on the front cover, nor will your fingers itch to leave through the pages of a book that you highlighted with 58 different colored jelly rolls when you were 12...

You're probably not eager to bust out that bible that you had doodled your crushes name on every blank page--- or strategically written on that page where it lets you list marriages, your name with that boy that took you to homecoming your freshman year.

just sayin.

Invest in a nice Bible. An attractive Bible. A Bible that will make the people in Starbucks wonder what that darling little book is that you're reading with the cool fabric on the front and the shiny gold edged pages...Get a Bible that you're excited to reach for off your shelf and tote around. One that's practical for traveling and having in your purse or "mag" (man bag) and then the five-pounder for when you're doing some major exegesis.


You can look at nice Bibles here.

Read your Bible.
All the cool kids are doin' it.
