fifty-fourth book of the Bible was the First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy. I followed my finger to chapter 6, and then to verses 7, 8, and 9: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therefore content. But they that will be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. A passage about drowning found in the pocket of a drowned man? It was beyond coincidence.
