  Yesterday after I had gone to shoppers drug mart to spend $25 on new batteries for my camera, I came home to find that dad had gone to blessings (christian store), and they had a sale on bible.
I really needed a new bible so mom offered to take me there. I had been visualizing scores and scores of dirt cheap bibles, but what greeted me there was that fact that even the teenyest weenyest bibles were at least $20. Also they had lots and lots of burgundy bibles, which is DEFINETELY NOT my favorite colour in terms of bibles.
Anyway, I finally found a bible that I liked. Its bigger than my old one (I really like reasonably big bibles) and navy blue and vegetarian frendly (I don't really care, but they had a small on that had real leather, but I liked the one I picked better. ) Normally it would have been $80, but it was fifty percent off, and mom agreed to pay $10 so I only had to pay $30. STILL THEY TALK ABOUT MAKING GODS WORD AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY, BUT THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD HAVE PAYED $80 FOR A BIBLE!!!!! Meanwhile people are making a big fuss about people in places other than north america, (with good reason, don't get me wrong) but most people in halifax couldn't afford to spend 80 dollars on a bible.
80 dollars could feed someone for at least a week! it could also pay for hygenic neccesitys, or could help you pay your water bill. There are so many things you could do with 80 dollars besides buying a bible. Now if bibles were $10 then people might be like, "Oh I want to see the stuff all those silly christian people are raving about.
" and then realize that they would only have to pay ten bucks. Maybe if blessings wasn't the only christian store in town there would be some competition. Anyway On a more humorous note, in my new bible at the front it says This bible was presented to _______________ and then it says By__________ and then, On the occasion of___________________, and then, Date_______________. I am going to write that i presented it to myself with a little help from my gracious mother, and then I'm going to write that it was on the occasion of a sale at blessings. Then I'm going to put the date.
