A lot of people look forward to retirement. Me, not so much. I want to preach until I cant speak anymore. But today is a sad day, in that I believe it is finally time to retire my Bible. This thing has been with me since my sophomore year in college. It has been there through my engagement and wedding, my times of feeling alienated, my alienating of both it and the church, my addictions, my call back into ministry, and my first few years as a pastor. Now this isn't the only Bible that has seen those events, but it has been the one that I liked the most out of all of them. So much so, in fact, that I even tried to preserve it by duct taping it back together!! But it is now beyond what the reach of even duct tape, baling wire, or JB Weld can even fix. Time to break in a new one now.
