So my hyperfixations become official hyperfixations when I begin hoarding/collecting. Accordingly…
The latest hoard is coming along well. 😅
#bibles take up WAY more space than games and I barely have enough space for my mario games send help#some background! I got the japanese bible at a library sale years ago and have held onto it all this time#the really pretty nkjv bible was a gift from my dad when I moved home after flunking out of college#he turned me loose in a lifeway store and said he’d get me any bible I wanted so long as I promised to read it faithfully#it’s a cultural context study bible and it introduced me to the concept that not everything in the bible is meant to be 100% literal#I walk up to him all excited and tell him ‘did you know the story of Adam and Eve was likely never meant to be taken as a true story?#it bears a lot of similarities to creation stories from other near-east ancient religions and likely intentionally mimics them!’#that unnerved my evangelical fundamentalist father so much he briefly confiscated that bible to make sure it wasn’t ‘untruthful’ 😂#the rest are all recent purchases#the nrsv is a wesley study bible! it was my black friday present to myself this past year#the nrsvue just got here tonight! it’ll be my living room bible (the wesley bible is my bedroom bible)#the rest are just… for fascination’s sake 😅#peaches screams into the void
