We lost a very dear friend this week and I almost missed it because I was behind on my reading!

Moses died and God himself buried him. Is that not crazy? Beth Moore says that some believe that the reason God had to bury Moses and hide his body was so that the Isrealites wouldn't take his body and make it an idol. Another interesting piece of information is that in Jude 1:9 Michael the Archangel and Satan acutal argue over Moses body.

Here is something that hit me (although it is pretty obvious) when I was reading about Rahab. She was told to leave the scarlet rope hanging from her window and she and all her family inside would be spared. The rope was scarlet just like the blood that the Isrealites put on the doorpost during the first passover.

I thought that Joshua 5:8 was funny. AFter Joshua had circumcised all the men "they rested in the camp until they were healed". I wonder how long that was?

    Seems we're all being uncharacteristically quiet!

    I've been busy with the Workshop but it's over now and I'm baaaaack.

    I found it very interesting that God used Rahab even though she wasn't a "Christian" or even living right. So often I think that God can only use someone that believes in Him and is doing everything good.

    I also loved the story in Joshua 9:1-27 where the Hivites tricked the Isrealites. I know that the Isrealites didn't consult God and that was why they were tricked but it made me feel better about sometimes thinking that people are taking tricking me.

    So.... our President has a biblical name. Go figure.

    So many of our songs come from the OT.....
    I think Judges 5:25-27 would make a catchy tune.
