Yes, I know.
M.I.A. once again.
The worst part is that I have read this passage a few times now.
I just had trouble getting myself to post about it.
The war stuff, the killing stuff. It just makes my stomach turn.
I keep reminding myself if I will just finish this up, I can be in the book of Ruth which is not quite as gory of a book.
Blech.
Anyway, since it is summer, I have no excuse. I have more time to do stuff like blogging (though I never seem to have trouble blogging recipes...).
So I will try once again to get back in this routine.
I really will try.
Sigh.
Anyway, I have just read this passage (Judges 19-21) for the THIRD time.
And honestly, I still cannot bring myself to say much about it.
It made my stomach turn just as much now as it did before.
I know that the Bible is God's Word. So there is a reason this story is in the Bible.
But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy reading it, right?
The whole time I was reading it, I was thinking about Sodom and Gomorrah.
I think the last sentence sums up all three chapters here.
From verse 25 of Chapter 21...
In those days Israel did not have a king. Everyone did what seemed right.
And if you are brave enough to read these three chapters, you will see just how very true that is.
Blech.
Tomorrow's reading: Ruth 1
