No, I know exactly when it was. Exactly. Give me a moment here. 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. 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. Oh, yeah. But so I actually got a picture of it.

And from that point on, I was always attracted to the Bible, but I didn't actually read it. And I think part of it was that nobody expected me to. I was really never invited to. And for sure, nobody ever taught me how to read the Bible. And I personally think that's one of the biggest problems that we face is that we don't teach our children how to read the Bible.

But then it was when I was 18 years old, I was a college student, and I was attracted to Emily, who had become my wife one day. And I went over to her house, and her mother was a real strong Bible Christian. And I went into the kitchen, and there was a Bible opened up, and she sat there with this 18-year-old kid, long hair down to here, And bell-bottom jeans and everything.

And she sat and she started talking to me from the Bible that God loved me and that God had a plan for my life. And I'll tell you what, I mean, you're 18 years old. You're not attracted to just middle-aged women teaching religion, right? but it was that Bible. It was her relationship with the Bible that it just drew me in. And I wanted to know this Bible. I wanted to know the God of the Bible.

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.
