David

Did I tell you how we met this really awesome guy in Italy? In Florence actually, his name is David, he's kind of old but very nice. Meeting him was a dream come true. P.S. That's not really him, the don't let you take pictures of him, but they do let you take pictures of the copy.

KJV

If you haven't heard, this year is the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. I don't usually give having the bible in an English version much thought, but with various celebrations of this anniversary year, I've been able to realize what a big deal it is to have it and how many people lost their lives to bring this to pass. I'd like to share some of the things I've heard in conjunction with this year. This program followed this forum at BYU and I found them both quite interesting and both taught me more about the bible and specifically the KJV. I was further intrigued when I came across this article. I really enjoy history and learning more about it, it makes me want to fulfill dreams of being a scholar, to learn languages, read dusty tomes perhaps, and know things that really smart people have known, or people in very enlightened or academic times. Should you have any such ambitions, I submit the KJV to you as a place to start, after all it is a year to celebrate.
