You made me laugh at a fond memory. When we moved my inlaws
to a new house, I had to go through their books to find money they'd
hidden. Looking through the Bible, I found my very religious mil had
crossed off every incidence of the word Hell with red pencil. It'll
probably
offend someone that I found that to be comical. Bad words in the Bible,
what's next??
