It hurt last week, and it hurt again this week: I felt a part of my soul was extracted and thrown amuck, when my well-marked Bible was lost. With it was my very full and overflowing intercessory prayer pkt and also my 2007 personal journal....lost in eastern Honduras on the side of a bumpy and rainy and dark and nameless road. (The same road that left our vehicle in non-working order due to the death pits/potholes.) So this week, after I had carefully started a NEW journal and a new well-pictured intercessory prayer pkt.... LOST again... my kids smile and say, "when we finish this move to our property, you will find them, Dad, in all these boxes!" I hope so....

Patrick, I know all too well how you must feel about the loss of your well marked bible and other items. Our sons and wives said the same when we 'lost' a computer and other 'stuff' to an intruder as we were moving from Vancouver WA.
Needless to say, we haven't found the computer and don't think we will. The worst is the feeling of violation. And, of course, the 'irreplaceable' info that was lost.
May you make many new and wonderful discoveries in His Word as you 'break-in' your new / replacement bible.
