Free Bibles

"Free Bibles" - 11/29/2005


Today was like every other day I have an 8 o'clock class. I roll out of bed at 7:30 and trudge to my 8 a.m. class from hell. After departing from my theatre class I started towards the dorms. At the corner a man was yelling, "Free Bibles!" Normally I would have smiled politely, accepted the bible, and thanked him fully. There wasn't much running through my head at all this morning, so instead I grabbed a bible out of his hand, stuck it in my pocket, and walked past him. I didn't make eye contact. I didn't say thank you. I just kept walking. It wasn't until I got to my dorm that I felt bad. He gave me a bible...a free bible and I didn't even say thank you. To make me feel worse, I read the inside. It turns out it is a memory bible. Those are the ones they pass out after someone dies if they so requested it.

Today I walked through the bitter cold one too many times and got the bad shower this evening. My wretched cold has returned from the depths, and I studied the wrong things for my math test today. I think God is punishing me
