Taking Hebron

So I've been doing Bible class with the kids and part of my desire is to share with them not only the regular stories like Noah, David and Goliath, etc. but also the stories you never get to hear. So we've been studying the life of Daniel and they wondered about King Nebuchadnezzar and how he could be so mean, and I took the opportunity to tell them about how God turned him into an animal! They thought that was hilarious! Now I never knew this story until I was almost an adult! So for all of you who never heard about Nebuchadnezzars life as an animal here it is! Daniel 4   28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?” (Whoa!

Then while we waited the lady whose car had been hit came over to my window and began to pour out her gratitude once again over the fact that we had stayed. It hit me then that this seemingly small sacrifice of my time, meant th...

 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possesion, for we are well able to overcome it." Numbers 13:30     6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while...
