I love U, Aunt Vern!
O.K. This is one of the sweetest things I've seen. I just can't stop thinking about it.
First of all, I have to tell you that the reason I have a Life Recovery Bible is that I stole it from the church office when I needed to take a Bible with me to lunch one time several years ago. (Not that a Life Recovery Bible isn't a good thing to have, mind you. It has great little sermons and encouragements for all kinds of things. ) It was a Bible that had belonged to a cool old lady named LaVerne who had died a few years back, and the family had given all the "religious" things to the church to dispose of, or use, or whatever. So, it was in my car for a long time, then I just gave up and brought it in the house.
Well, I was leafing through it the other day and found a lone little piece of paper. A little note page from a little note pad. On it was written in faint pencil, obviously by a child, "I Love U Aunt Vern."
Oh, Man! I hope that's the kind of stuff I leave behind when I die!

You should write more notes during church, then at the end of the service, collect them and stick them in your bible.
Yeah. That way, we'll find that note in our Bible in like 20 years and laugh and laugh and laugh. Or not. I don't know if we'd even remember what that was about by then!
