I was at Mardel, our local Christian bookstore, Christmas shopping and came across something I really wanted: an English Standard Version Bible (ESV). I've heard about this Bible from people I've respected, most obviously John Piper. It has, according to some, the poetic beauty of the KJV, the textual accuracy of the NASB (it aims at being word-for-word, rather than thought-for-thought), and the readability of the NIV. Quite a tall order. So far I've read 1 Timothy and a few other favorite passages, and I've really loved it so far.
This is really my Bible. I just feel I can read it and read it and read it. I really recommend you get one.
I've got some other news, but it's not important enough to post about, and I'd rather go to bed now, anyway.
