Well, thank you joy for a fun day. i hope you had as much fun as i did. i always am excited to hang out with you, and saving your life makes it a ton more exciting. i REALLY thank God for His intervention in that situation. it was pretty crazy.

so. my most favorite parts of the Bible, are the action packed areas. some people like the romance...(?), some people like the hard to understand stuff, but i like the action. take this section for example...

Judges 19+20

a story quite similar to Sodom and Gamora. my favorite part...

Jdg 20:16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair breadth, and not miss.

yah. that's pretty awesome. these people were devoted. they weren't stupid. i always imagined the isrealites as being incompitent. only relying on God for protection. but these people were strong. and they relied on a strong God. (the only God). i was almost sad when it said
Jdg 20:44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor. (well, NIV says " all of them valiant fighters ") But it was Gods desicion. and if you read the reason this all took place, you'll end up wanting to route for the isrealites. anyways. that was a really awesome story. i thought it was a remix of Sodom and Gamora. in fact i think it is, but i'm not sure why God would do that again. oh well.

have a good night.
