Well, I finally finished another chapter of the Bible last night. Early civilization was much more tumultuous than I ever realized. Armies of hundreds or thousands are assembled quickly and move about easily somehow. I did like reading about the some of the leaders though. I had always thought that David was only the person who beat down Goliath. I hadn't realized that he became the leader in the Israelites eyes and was hounded by the former leader Saul. I am not so sure why the people were se needy of a figurehead among them. Were they trying to be competitive with the other groups who had a king? Did they need someone to direct their issues to? I have not quite decided why a person was needed to lead a group that should be depending on God for their decisions.
I am also going to a concert by myself tonight. Like Michael Scott told Toby Flenderson, I might as well get used to being alone.
