A Remarkable Puzzle

Randy and I had a contest to see who could do this fastest. I won but it took us both an hour at least...I forget how long exactly! Try your luck if you want to drive yourself nuts for a good chunk of time. One hint I wish I would have known definitively beforehand--no book names begin on one line and continue on the next (which was tricky to make sure of on this blog, I must say!) :-)

Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this
paragraph? This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone
found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to
Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man
from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat.
Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs
mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job
to be so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help calm her
nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to
spot...that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves
in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily
capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced
to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of
them at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for
the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear
great lamentations from those who have to be shown.
One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.

This might be fun for you to do! And, I don't think it take any research to know if it's real or not.

12 days of Christmas

I thought this was interesting!

Loving Spirit

I was unsure of whether to post this or not, but I figured we could all use the reminder. Even if we don't have any annoying relatives, we all need to be reminded to show Christ's love to our family, friends, and people we meet. Not only around Christmas time, but all through the year.

Christmas trees

I thought this was really neat! It's nice to see trees from around the world. Makes me want to travel and go see them!

This one is for December 9th

Give this Christmas Away!
