Brady's Grandmother "Gigi" is 94. A huge accomplishment if you ask me! Anyway, she loves to read, but since she can't see all that well anymore, we had to find a different solution. Last year, we got her a cd player and some audio books. The good news is that the St. Clair County Library system has a whole bunch of audio books. The bad news? She is blowing through Danielle Steele novels like nobody's business.
Since my mother-in-law (Gigi's primary caretaker) is in Florida for the month, Brady has stepped up to help with doctors visits, simple shopping, library runs, etc. After the second library run in one week, Brady suggests to her that she get something that is slightly longer than your average smutty romance novel. So what does he have in mind? The Bible. Great idea. Gigi is interested, and admits that she has never read it, but (since she's 94 and all) it seems that now might be the time to start. Brady agrees to pick it up on his next trip.
Here's where this story gets interesting:
He brings 'the Bible' home and it's SIXTY FOUR AUDIO DISCS. It literally takes up an entire binder. Hmmmm...there's no way she is ever going to be able to get through this before the time to return it, so he has the most awesome idea - we will copy it for her! All 64 discs. Anyone that has ever copied a CD knows that they have to be 'ripped' onto the computer, and then 'burned' onto a blank CD. All 64 discs.
God has blessed my husband with his kind heart, loving personality and will to serve. He was also blessed with a wife that works from home on a computer that has a fast processor that can efficiently rip and burn discs. Yup, I was left holding the bag.
In summary: for the past couple of days I have been not only ripping, but burning the Bible. If the path to Hell is paved with good intentions, then I'm pretty sure that's where I will end up.
