My parents were not real happy about that.

But I would sit outside the classroom with a

with this Bible that I bought, and I just read it and read it and read it, and it has really become my life.

And for me, the Bible is, it is my life.

Now, I don't mean that in the sense of the sacraments are not or anything like that,

But when you're going through tough times in your life, like now with so many people who are struggling with worldwide pandemic, election results, whatever it might be, you have health problems, just literally walking into my living room and seeing my Bible,

on the counter or on the coffee table, it just brings hope to me knowing there's someone who doesn't change.

There's someone I can build my life on, that is Jesus Christ, and he actually wrote me letters to guide me and direct me and to comfort me and correct me and show me who I am and what his plan is for my life.

And I've never left the Bible.

And I get excited every time someone picks one up and says, I'm getting it.

I'm getting it.

I love it.

You know what some people do with their Bible, which you're explaining it in your Bible right there.

You're going back to high school and you can look in there and you can actually see evidence of where your heart has been.

And that is that legacy.

When you pass away someday, let's say 100 years from now, your nieces and nephews are going to want that because that's where Uncle Mike is.

That's where Father Mike lived.

And they're gonna want it.

And I bought this Bible, my first one right here.

I got a leather cover on it now.
