Oh, a true story,. The man I bought my house from became a Christian while
in prison as a teenage youth and was given a copy of the Bible. Years later
he was given as a gift a nice leather bound one so he gave his old thumb
worned copy to a new convert as a gift. He missed it since he shared a long
life with it. Years later (he's in his sixties now) he was browsing the
shelves of the local Goodwill thrift store and ran across a book that
looked like his long lost friend. He flipped through it noticing all the
familiar passages highlighted and sure enough the back cover had an
inscription citing it as a gift from him over 4 decades ago. After telling
me his story he said it was cast bread upon the water, he felt his old Bible
had some mission work of its own to do before coming home.

Maybe those bantams will comeback with some experience in their margins.

Daniel

oh where are you, my four lost bantams?
