Ihave the New King James in 20 volumes on my living room shelves.
It was donated to my regional library so I put in for it.  Someone was ahead of 
me, and they said they couldn’t take it, so they loaded it onto my bus home 
from a meeting.
I don’t think my driver was too thrilled, but it was kind of cool coming home 
with the Word!

Awww, I don't even know what condition those poor 
books are in anymore. Makes me so sad, because my 
Bibles are out there, too. *sigh*
