The Book That I Would Save for Future Generations

If there is one book that I could save for future generations, I would save the bible. To me, I think the single most important book out there is the bible. I can’t think of a book that is more important than the bible. The bible is a book of such importance to me, mainly because I am a Christian and believe in God. In my religion class during my senior year, each student in the class got to highlight a verse in the bible that we thought was of most importance to us. Once we graduated, each one of us got a bible that showed what verse every student highlighted. I thought that was really cool, and that’s another reason that I would save the bible for future generations. One other interesting fact about the bible is that it is one of the first books ever written. It would be neat to save one of the oldest books in the history forever. The bible is a book that also brings a lot of people together. It connects many Christians. You will see that groups of people get together to pray the bible many times. I can’t think of another book out there can connect groups of people together the way the bible does. The bible shows a list of all of the commandments as well, and I strongly believe in the commandments. The commandments are important to me because it is what Christians live by, and it also teaches a lesson of guidelines. The bible is definitely the book I would keep for future generations.

Halloween

            Halloween is a holiday that I have always liked. I always went trick or treating when I was little with all of my friends. I loved getting candy when I was younger, and that was the main reason I liked to go trick or treating. I also liked to dress up for it. I don’t remember all of the different costumes that I wore each year, but one that I do remember the most was when I dressed up as a Pittsburgh Steelers football player. I had the whole outfit. I wore a Steelers helmet and jersey. When my mom and I shopped for the outfit, we couldn’t find any Steelers football pants, so I just wore a pair of black baseball pants that I had. I also didn’t own any football pads, so I put a bunch of long socks in the sleeves of the jersey, to make it look like I had the shoulder pads on. I wanted to feel like I was part of the Pittsburgh Steelers. When I was younger, I never really had any dislikes with trick or treating. Now, as I am much older and don’t trick or treat anymore, I find it funny how there are so many little kids that go trick or treating to as many as three different local communities. So many kids want to get as much candy as possible, so they go to as many area communities as they can. I don’t view this is a dislike really, but more so just find it funny. It’s always fun watching little kids come to the door asking for candy though. It’s a good holiday for younger kids, as well as people who are older.
