It's here at last!

And I'm psyched!

New Bible

I've been reading the ESV translation of the Bible for some time now. About a year ago, I suppose, I bought the cheapest edition I could find in order to "test drive" it for a while. Well, I've been consistently pleased with the ESV, and since that cheap edition is now seriously dog-eared, this morning I made the leap and have purchased the Deluxe Reference edition in bonded leather. Sweet! You see, I've reached an age in which I can realistically consider the possibility that this Bible may last me to the very end! I'm not trying to be morose or anything. In fact, it's kind of a cool thought. The point is, I don't see myself leaping to another translation after a couple of years. I suspect that this is going to be my primary reading Bible "from here to hereafter."
