FHE blog tag activity!

I am blog tagging everyone who wants a really fun (maybe frustrating) FHE. My Mom originally received this as an email from one of her friends. When I was living in Ojai, she gave it to me to complete, and I never got it completely done. I thought for the last four years that I lost it, but when I opened up a recipe book I had from the Ojai Relief Society, I found the paper tucked inside. I was so excited, and I stayed up way too late last night, until I could no longer see straight, but I finally completed it. Anyways, here it goes. (you will have to print it out for your family to do)

**********************************************************************************
Can you find the names of 25 books of the Bible in this paragraph?

This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman judges the job to be so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot....that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may help, books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.

Well, good luck, and let me know how you did!

Hmmm... I only found 7... but I didn't look for any half words with spaces in the middle or anything...
