missing: scriptures.

my scriptures are MISSING.

like... no where to be seen.

a.n.y.w.h.e.r.e.

i've been looking.  and looking.  and looking.

and searching. and scouring the house. and the church building.

and crossing my fingers. and saying my prayers. and crying tears.

but they're gone.

taken from this earth.

probably because the markings were so significant and profound.

must be.

unless the guy at the auto body shop stole them from my trunk.

either way, they're gone.

do you know how hard it is to prepare a sunday school lesson from the old testament without an old testament?!

hard.

and then you're thinking - how does someone lose your scriptures?  that girl must not use them very often.
i use them.  used them, anyway. 
UNTIL THEY VANISHED FROM THIS EARTH!

i hope someone's putting them to good use.  along with that letter from my mom that i had tucked away in the back... the one she wrote when i moved away to college.

and the one and only copy of my patriarchal blessing.

yeah, i hope they're putting it all to good use.

it's going to be realllly great to start with a fresh clean set, right?
right.
right?
