Louise's Good News

I inherited several Bibles from my parents and thought I'd share their special verses and notes. To read about Mom's childhood Bible, click here. This Bible is one that I had given Louise Long in 1984.
I was pretty surprised that she wrote the thank-you note inside the Bible.
Here are some passages she high-lighted in the front of the Bible.

Below is a book mark that was probably in a Christmas card from her uncle, Ray Ezell, a Baptist minister and his wife Nelda.She had that Bible stuffed with little notes of inspiration. Although this Bible was in pretty good shape, most of them I've inherited are "well-used."

We also have a stack of Bibles - I'm such a word person that I have to be able to see how other translations phrase certain verses. I've got a couple different German versions too, but I really want a 'real' Luther translation. I like his way with words. I also like seeing how people's names differ from German to English!

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
