Last
week we had wonderful sermons from the El Hogar travelers. But a couple folks
said to me after the service, “how about that Old Testament reading!” It was
Bathsheba and David -- steamy stuff, that
sounds just like a modern soap opera.
In
case you missed last week, our story thus far is: David is sunning himself on
his rooftop deck, instead of leading his troops into battle like he should be,
and sees the beautiful Bathsheba, wife of Uriah, one of his army commanders. He
seduces her, and then a few months later she utters those immortal words, “ I’m
pregnant.”
