C. Short Story: Book Him.
A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children's books to
five different libraries in the county was released from jail yesterday
after a book publisher agreed to post his bond of $1,000. The publisher
said, "There's a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just
can't let go of them. He hasn't stolen a single book. So what's the
crime? We think that Mr. Barush has a story to tell. We plan to publish
his story."
When asked why he didn't return the books, Mr. Barush said, "Well, how
could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them, because I
knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up,
throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly
on them, and drown them in the toilet."
He continued, "Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care
of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my
guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I
dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could
breathe and get some fresh air.
"Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new
friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at
them. Now they're all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the
floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them
calling me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now."

E. Bible Lesson: Mark 10:17-27
The Rich Young Man
17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus,looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again,“Children, how difficult it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
