Bible Note: Ed, one of the cruel ironies of this on-going debacle about the Zondervan-HarperCollins decision to publish the TNIV is that Zondervan happens to publish several Bible products that contain the NASB text. I find that somewhat disconcerting. Life is so tedious and complex these days! No wonder I grow nostalgic now and then as I reflect on those days when I grew up bare-footed and care-free in the red-clay hills of north Georgia, and my mother read to me from her King James Bible -- the only version in town -- and taught me my prayers as she tucked me away for the night in my little feather bed. Ah, thanks for the memories! --Hank |
