Scripture: Portions of 2 Samuel, chapters 11-12 This month I’ve been preaching about David, Israel’s most beloved king. This morning’s bible story takes place after David’s reign is well-established.

No one wants to be blind-sided by trouble. There’s also the one: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” I’m not really so sure about the merit of that one.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 When I was about seven years old, I thought I wanted to be a nurse in the Air Force.

Several months later I had an accident in the bathtub and tore my big toenail loose from my toe. Looking down at the blood flowing from my own foot, I vomited and then I fainted. Don’t worry; my mom took care of everything. And I decided a nurse in the Air Force wasn’t the thing for me. |
