Little Heathen
Maggie ripped up my scriptures the other day when she was supposed to be napping.
It must be noted that i don’t just read my scriptures the way some do. I pour over them , marking and making little notations in the sidebars and color coding scriptures that have given me particular guidance and uplift during different periods of my life (Texas was green, California was blue). It’s not a matter of just go buy a new set- I’ve lost years of inspiration and study, and after much searching online I discovered that they don’t even make the same binding style I love- so- literally, they are irreplaceable.
It took Chris and I about two hours to tape back together the various pieces of confetti into recognizable pages, and even longer to attempt to adhere them back into the binding. I now have a totally removable Moroni, and a few pages have more tape than paper. There are some verses I may never read again. If I commit any major sins, I’m blaming her.
It’s so sad that you can’t get the same style again. I wouldn’t know what to do if I were you.

Well, maybe it was time to let go of some of the old things and be inspired to try something new…OK- that sounds good, anyway. Sorry Maggie ripped them up. The last line of the the post made me laugh!!;-)

Had to laugh. I’m missing most of Genesis, which, well…okay, I can do without it I guess. But a couple months ago she ripped out the majority of 2nd Nephi. I still haven’t found all the pieces…I’m guessing I won’t.

okay…so I just now have had the time to read a few of these…Tito is with me and we are laughing so hard. We both agree that we will piggy back on your sins and we will all just blame Maggie…that’s a Tito quote. LOL…we love that you guys are so real! Thank you!!!!!
