I picked up where I embarrassingly left off yesterday with reading 1 Sam 17 (David and Goliath).
Finished reading it. It has been a while since I read the whole thing. I read a very small chunk of it often in my kids' Bibles, but man is the full story awesome. David was such a cool, confident, and tough kid. I love it. Cocky too, but in a righteous way, in the name of the Lord, who he full-heartedly believed would be with him in killing this massive beast in front of Him. I love that Davie ran at Goliath, showing no fear to the thousands of soldiers watching this unfold.Then he cuts off his head and carries it around with him for quite some time. I know that sounds ridiculous now, but times have changed of course. What a stud. He followed the Lord with all his heart and the Lord was sure glorified in a big way that day.
I'm having trouble carrying out the exercise to re-write the story to relate to a group of youth gang members I think because it is just so awesome how it is and I feel weird changing it. That may be a cop out from doing my homework or maybe it's not being familiar with the right language to use and I don't want to embarrass myself. I'll try again tomorrow.
