An Archaeological Dig of My Bible

4 Comments

As I was studying this morning, I realized that I had a lot of crap in my Bible. So, I decided to a little archaeological dig to find out just what stuff I had in there.

Here’s an inventory:

Lighting plot (probably "Cheaper by the Dozen") c. 2008
Church Bulletin (Feb 27, 2011)
Ticket Master receipt for 4 tickets to unknown event
Handout for sermon I delivered at Westview Church c. 2005
Church message schedule c. 2009
Handmade Valentines card from Madison c. 2006
Post-it note from work with random scribble

(not pictured)

  • my business card
  • homemade “Planes of WWII” bookmark
  • 3×5 card with memory verses
  • Scrap of paper with encouraging verses written out
  • Father’s Day note left on my desk by Madison
  • “I love you daddy” on a post-it note from Taylor
  • Birthday note from Madison
  • A poem written by Taylor (around the age of ten):

    Bed Time Tales
    By: Taylor Vander Well

    At night I jump in bed.
    My daddy reads to me as I rest my head.

    Tales of a land in another day,
    are the stories that he tells as I drift away.

    Stories of creatures with special features.
    Slaying dragons and Bilbo Baggins.

    Now I fall asleep,
    and my dreams of this I keep.
    For tomorrow lies another day,
    of new adventures far away.
