CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarcasm. A bad habit in our house. So, the keyword, Canada helps. Whenever you say something sarcastic, someone calls a Canada on you. Then, you have to pay a quarter to the fun bank. I've gotten two Canadas yesterday and a Canada today. What is wrong with me? A scripure says:
Exodus 14:11
They said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Sarcasm. There are alot of when people be sarcastic in the Bible but nothing tells us how we can prevent it or even to stop! Stange huh?

King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram, whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was a man of Tyre and a craftsman in bronze. Huram was highly skilled and experienced in all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him.
And he did a lot. Imagine making something for the king!
He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea. The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
Sea of cast metal? What's that? I'm completely confuzeled with all of that part. So after that guy was finished...
Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD's temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;
the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary the gold floral work and lamps and tongs; the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
Wait, Solomon made all that? Not his workers? Only him? Once all that was done he put the stuff that David dedicated in the treasuries.

Solomon is building the Temple. As I read, it described how the temple looked and how tall or fat or short it was, and how many stories it had, and how the inside looked, etc. etc. etc. Then I realized how interesting it really was. Leviticus is one of the most boring book of the bible, but with a little imagination, you could make it amazingly fun to read. As you start to love the Bible more, you start to grow a bigger, better relationship with God. I thought that was kinda cool

peacock feather

Finally, a computer that can go to the Internet! Anyway, we went to the zoo. While were there, I found a tiny peacock feather. It was Sooooooo pretty! As I looked at it, I thought of how much God's splendor showed it that tiny little thing. God had made that on the 5th day. JUST ONE DAY! Not only that but he made every other fish and bird in that day too! God can demonstrate all of his power in just a tiny little peakock feather that Mom stepped on. Oh the glory of it all.

1 kings

As you should guess, David's really old. Adonijah, one of his sons decides to go out and declare himself king. He got Joab and a few other to help him out and had a feast. HOW MANY DECEITFUL SONS DOES DAVID HAVE????????? Is it because he didn't train to be Godly? Cuz Solomon was very Godly. A stilll faithful preist and Adonijah's mother said to David, 'You said Solomon was gonna be king! How then is Adonijah having a feast for himself and sacrificing bulls and goats, and every one around him is saying long live the king.?!' David took action. Soon, everyone was saying 'Long live King Solomon!!'
When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. He said, "Be strong, show yourself a man, and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go, and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: 'If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.' "Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace.
"But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table. They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
"And remember, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD : 'I will not put you to death by the sword.' But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom; you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood."
Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. He had reigned forty years over Israel—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
David was so cool, why did he have to die? I would do anything to half as wise or good as him.

The rest of the Samuel Books

David wanted to have his men counted. Joab told him he didn't need to do it, and that he shouldn't, But David didn't listen. Once he got the numbers he knew he had sinned. God sent someone to David he said: "Shall there come upon you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me." David chose the three days of Plague. So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. 16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. So David bought the threshing floor of the man and built an altar. David felt guilty. He was the one who did something bad and the people had to suffer. He felt really bad. How was counting men anything really bad?
