16 - 18 May 2009 (Steven)

Bible
David is on the run from his father-in-law Saul. The priests stand up for David, so Saul kills the lot - 85 of them. I don't know about you, but if I'd fallen from favour with God and wanted to get back into His good books, I'm not convinced that murdering His priests is the way to go!

Books
This past Friday night a member of the congregation loaned me "Spud" by John van de Ruit. This is the story of a 14-year-old boy attending a private boarding-school in 1990, and deals with growing up in an all-boys school at the pre-dawn of the New South Africa. It's brilliant! Despite taking part in a "Meet the Minister" session on Saturday, finalising my sermon preparations, and doing two services plus a hospital visit on Sunday, I managed to flatten the book by this morning.
