Now at 13 and almost 15, each Friday night after 11, (when mom goes to bed) they go get a stack of their kids books we read a million times over and say, "Dad, can you read the real version?" It is at this point in time I fill in the blanks with all the goofiness and weirdness my mind can muster. We laugh for about an hour or so and then watch TV till we all fall asleep. I have to tell you, this would not happen if I did not read to them, tell them stories and give them Bible stories. My daughter gave her heart to Christ as a small child because of how nice Jesus was to Blind Bart. My son quit thinking Jesus was yucky because he was so nice to the 10 guys with owies on their skin. Michael, all this to say, of all the things you do in your life, very few match the heroism of reading to and telling stories to your kids. It is such a cool thing to do for them and makes your wife extremely happy too. Keep it up!

"storied" should read "stories". Look, in my defense....having to go through the multiple steps to disable Websense and the logs tracking such steps (so my boss doesn't check what I really do during the day) is starting to affect me. It's already Monday and I need a drink. -PC dammit….I did it again. “storied” should read “stories”.

After bath, teeth brushed, jammies on, Sophia sits on her daddy's lap while he attempts to brush her curly hair and tells her a story. I like to be the eaves dropper. Sometimes it's a made up story, sometimes a story from either of our childhoods, or like last night a bible story. It's building good memories for all of us. I actually love this part of the night.

Man, they couldn't even push the Philistines into the sea and take their territory. You can see why David, in particular, might have a little grudge against them. Those pagans and idolaters?

It wasn't so much the north / south divide that mattered, it was the fact that Jerusalem was not yet a captured city, it didn't belong to any of the tribes, so choosing it as a capital city meant David was make public his intention to treat all the tribes justly. It was easier to use the north / south language, because she's already familiar with that distinction, on account of the research she's been doing for her thesis on the influence of the Civil War on the development of Jazz.
