waiting

i've been waiting for this package since november. i pre-ordered a new bible from amazon.com.

the message/niv parallel study bible.

i've used the message/niv parallel for a couple of years now & really like it. i love being able to compare the different translations side by side. i also like reading the message version of verses i've become so familiar with that i sometimes skip right through it without thinking about what it says.

i'm also anxious to see what the "study" part of it includes.

yeah, that's right, i'm anxious to read my new bible. that's one thing God's done for me this last year especially. given me a desire to read his word. how cool is that?
