Funerals and Bible-iography

As I've observed before, thanks to the internet you can see people's lives coinciding. A couple months ago 5 people I know had relatives in the hospital. This month is all about funerals. Andi's grandpa died last week. Jim's father passed away last week. My grandmother's friend Bud who our family has known for years passed away last week and his funeral is tomorrow. Another friend of Bud's husband passed away. A friend named Billy had a death in his family. At least if we're going to share this merry-go-round of life we can do it in sync with one another and go through these things together.

Lastly I have found the list of Biblical "chapters" (I don't know what you're technically supposed to call them). I tried figuring it out on Wikipedia yesterday but unfortunately there are so many denominations of Christianity and other similar religions that coming with a common list of chapters for the Bible is nearly impossible. Then of course there was an excessive of extra information I didn't need that Wikipedia forked over. Frustrating.

So here it is, the list of Biblical "chapters" *takes a minute to consult Google about what they should really be called* Ok so Google says they're called "Books of the Bible that contain verses". Here is the order of "books" from the Bible

Old Testament: 
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalm, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi

New Testament: 
Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1+2Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1+2Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1+2Peter, 1,2,3John, Jude, Revelation
