Scripture reading has taken on a whole new meaning in our home...We've even had a couple of battles. Yesterday my mother in law and I were out shopping and found the New Testament in a language I've never seen before. I couldn't resist, and brought it home. Oddly enough, we've all taken up reading the scriptures...in Hawaiian Pidjin. I think Jodi was right... She once told me that if you want to learn a foreign language, read the scriptures in that language...I'm getting pretty good at this Hawaiian Pidjin stuff. I'm getting so good that every now and then I slip up and start talking in dis language mid sentence. I think I may get to the point where I'm dreaming in it, I'll let you know. I'm sure it's comin. I dis like to share a scripture wid you found in "DA JESUS BOOK":
Matthew 5; 27-30
"You guys wen hear wat God wen say: 'No go fool aroun behind yoa husban o yoa wife's back.' But eh! I telling you guys dis: Whoeva look at one wahine an like fool aroun her, he wen do um awready inside his heart. If da right eye make you do bad kine stuff lidat, dig um out, an throw um away! No matta you ony get one eye--mo worse da whole body go Hell! If da right hand make you do bad kine stuff, cut um off an throw um away! No matta you ony get one hand-- mo worse da whole body go Hell!

Lynda! It's Katie Porter. I love
"Da Jesus Book". My roommates and I found it in college and loved reading nightly scriptures out of it. I hope you guys are all doing well. I can't wait for Mckenna to get back!
Lynda,I love this scripture - thanks for sharing! Any ideas about where can I get my own copy of "Da Jesus Book"?
I got "Da Jesus Book" at a little Hawaiian store down by the beach. I did google it, however, and you can get a copy of it from Amazon.
