I'll tell you exactly when it got a hold of me.
And I got a picture of it.
I got a picture of the time.
I got a picture.
Yeah.
It was 19, and it was my first communion.
It was 1971, May 1st, 1971.
I was confirmed and I received two Bibles for my confirmation.
And that night when I got home, absolute, I'm telling you exactly what happened here.
I took that Bible and I was just like, whoa, the Bible.
and I put it on my end table and I looked at it and I thought,
how do I read it?
I want to read this.
I was just drawn to it.
And so I came up with this amazing plan.
And that is, I would open it up in Genesis and I would read one verse a night.
And then by the time I was old, say 30, I will have read all of it.
Well, that lasted about two weeks and the Bible still sat there all of those years.
And here's a picture of me and my mother and my Bible the night of my confirmation.
I don't know if you can see that.
