I've been looking forward to this since Sunday when I came across an old Bible that had been retrieved from a saint who had passed to glory.
Inside the front cover he had written "This book will keep me from sin. Sin will keep me from this book".
A slip of paper fell out and it was headed "A bunch of sweet peas". It turned out to be a simple but profound analysis of Psalm 23.
