The Bible - King James version 9/365

Couldn't think what to do today and was listening to BBC Radio 4 where they are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the King Jame's Bible. Coming from a tradition that will countenance no other version and still having a personal liking for the powerful language of the KJV I thought what better picture to take. Don't always do what it says but the words were very moving hearing it read. The story of Ruth was read - what more haunting words than - '..for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy God my God....' Just a lovely sentiment of loyalty, trust and companionship. Anyway I liked it and thank radio 4 for the readings. Hope it's not too pious but hey why not!
