From A Blue Bible to a Red Bible


I've switched from using a blue Bible to using a red one.  No, I haven't bought yet another Bible, and I haven't shelved my blue Bible in favor of a red Bible I already own.
I wrote in a recent post that a Bible that is falling apart should be rebound.   Well, I've taken my own advice, and rebound that paperback Bible that I've had since 1998. 
First, I took an old, worn, really crummy-looking imitation-leather cover, with some of the imitation-leather worn off, and I covered it with red Con-tact paper.  Next, I covered the Con-tact paper with clear book tape, to protect it.  After that, I bound my Bible into the new-from-old cover, once again using the book tape.   That was on Tuesday.
Today, I added one more touch.   I clipped the words "The Holy Bible" from inside another Bible I have, and taped them to the front cover.
So now I have a newly-bound bright red Bible (and I might as well admit it, red is my preferred color when it comes to Bibles!)
It didn't cost me a cent, because I already had everything I used to make the "new" cover.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
