Saturday, January 10, 2009 - Week 18 and 19
My weeks are a little blurred and mixed up as I am slightly behind. We will be taking a few Saturdays so that I can be back on track where I want to be. But that means that things are not getting done exactly in the week that they are scheduled. AND I waited too long to record week 18 so I kind of forget what we got done that week apart from the next.
Bible:
- Samson and Delilah
- Death of Samson
- Ruth and Naomi
- Ruth gleans in the fields
- Hannah desires a baby, the Lord hears her prayer
- Samuel is born
- Eli and his evil sons (This made me think of people's testimonies. Our testimony and the way we conduct our lives can turn people off from the Lord. I do not want to be the reason that someone decides that they want nothing to do with Jesus because of me)
- God calls Samuel
Memory:
- Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil

- chapter 10 - The King's two sons are sent to Richard as ransom for the King's release. Lothaire, the oldest is as horrid as ever. Carloman is scared out of his wits by what his mother had told them was going to happen to the boys, but Richard's kindness wins him over, again.
