This is my mother-in-law's Bible, the Bible she had that day.

I first met her.

She passed away last year, but this is Alice's well-worn Bible that she read to me.

And so this is very, very important.

And

You know, you've got different Bibles, I'm sure, too.

And I've got, this is my grandfather's Bible.

And it's probably my most treasured possession because it still has in it the bulletin from the week he died right in that place.

And he underlined verses, he wrote things in the column, and this is near to my heart.

So yeah, that's where the Bible really came alive to me.

No, no, he wasn't actually.

And I didn't know, you know, when it came to my, my dad's side of the family, I really didn't know their faith that well until after they had passed away.

And then all of a sudden we realized, wow, he was deep into scripture and, and, you know, he could have just passed away.

And without the Bible, I wouldn't have known much, but the Bible left me a legacy.

You know, it left me traces of, what's that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The touch points to me were my mother-in-law, my grandfather, my confirmation night.

And then at 18 years of age, when I really got serious about serving the Lord, the Bible really became the focus of my life.

And I couldn't even return to my college classes, literally.
