Find the 30 Books of the Bible Puzzle

Don't look at the answers untill you have at least tried!


There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu. Keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the book in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, the books are all right there in plain view hidden from sight. Those able to find all of them will hear lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind that punctuation and spacers in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in the paragraph waiting to be found.

GOD'S HALL OF FAME



YOUR NAME MAY NOT APPEAR DOWN HERE
IN THIS WORLD'S HALL OF FAME,
IN FACT YOU MAY BE SO UNKNOWN
THAT NO ONE KNOWS YOUR NAME,

THIS HALL OF FAME IS ONLY GOOD,
AS LONG AS TIME SHALL BE,
BUT KEEP IN MIND "GOD'S HALL OF FAME"
IS FOR ETERNITY.
TO HAVE YOUR NAME INSCRIBED UP THERE,
IS GREATER ------ YES------ BY FAR,
THEN ALL THE HALLS
OF FAME DOWN HERE
AND EVERY MAN MADE STAR.

THE CROWDS ON EARTH, THEY SOON FORGET,
THE HEROES OF THE PAST,
THEY CHEER LIKE MAD UNTIL YOU FALL.
AND THAT'S HOW LONG YOU LAST.
BUT GOD ----- HE NEVER DOES FORGET,
AND IN HIS "HALL OF FAME"
BY JUST BELIEVING IN HIS "SON"
INSCRIBED YOU'LL FIND YOUR NAME.

I TELL YOU FRIEND, I WOULDN'T TRADE
MY NAME HOWEVER SMALL
THAT'S WRITTEN THERE, BEYOND THE STARS,
IN THAT CELESTIAL HALL,
FOR EVERY FAMOUS NAME ON EARTH.
OR GLORY THAT THEY SHARE,
I'D RATHER BE AN UNKNOWN HERE,
AND HAVE MY NAME UP THERE.

Cows, The Constitution, and The Ten Commandments

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

1. COWS

2 THE CONSTITUTION, and

3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS



COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can
track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where
she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their
stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering
around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq.
Why don't we just give them ours?
It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over
200 years and we're not using it anymore.

TEN COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a
courthouse........
You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit
Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie"
in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians --
it creates a hostile work environment

I got this pic in an e-mail and just loved it! Hope you do too......
