              Quarter 3: Week 2: Tuesday: 2 Sam. 12: 13-25:
                               David went to Nathan telling him he sinned and all. Nathan told him he wasn't going to die, because he was forgiven by the Lord, but that his son must die. After he left the child David had with Uriah's wife had become sick. For days David refused to eat or get up. On the seventh day of his sickness, his child died, but his servants didn't want to tell him because they feared he might do something desprate. They finally told him, and he finally got up from the ground and went to eat, and he also began to worship God. David relized his tears and fasting wouldn't bringing his son back. Later he and his wife had another son named Solomon. When David asked for God's forgiveness he felt closer and had comfort. That's how I feel when the Lord forgivess me. I feel as though a weight of sin and burden has been lifed. Sure, I'm going to have bumps along the road, but doesn't everyone? Having God forgivessness just means I won't have to go through it all alone.

Quarter 3: Week 2: Monday: 2 Samuel 12: 1-12 :

            Quarter 3: Week 2: Monday: 2 Samuel 12: 1-12 :
                              Nathan went to David and told him about a rich and a poor man. The rich man had many cattle, but the poor man only had one sheep he loved with all his heart. Someone came to the rich man, and instead of feeding him with one of his sheep, he went, killed, and fed him with the poor man's sheep. David said the man who did this must him him over with four sheep for having not a single guilt. David said he must be killed, but the Lord said for his hate David's wife would be sleep with by someone close, for all to know. If someone was really my friend they would correct me and help me out. I like to think that all my friends love me enough to correct me, but I can't say they all do. God corrected David for wanting to kill the rich man.

Quarter 3: Week 1: Friday: 2 Samuel 11: 1-27:

                    Quarter 3: Week 1: Friday: 2 Samuel 11: 1-27:
                          David was on the roof of his palace, and saw a woman. He sent someone out to see who she was, and he came back saying she was Bathsheba, wife of Uriah. David sent message to her and the had a child together. Jacob sent Uriah to eat and clean his feet at his house, but he couldn't. He did the same the next day, but again he could not go home. Then he sent Joab a note telling him to kill Uriah, and he did indeed die. After Bathseba moured for her husband she went to David. They then got married. It is always hard to admit fault. Since we are human we aren't perfect, but we want to be. So, that makes us not want to admit when we are at fault. Saying you are wronf or that it was your fault isn't the most fun thing the world

Quarter 3: Week 1: Thursday: 2 Samuel 9: 1-13 :

            Quarter 3: Week 1: Thursday: 2 Samuel 9: 1-13 :
                                             Mephibosheth came to the king Ziba and bowed to pay his honor. He told him to be afraid because he wouold repay him with kindness for his father's, Jonathan's, kindness, and would return him to his grandfather's, Saul's land. He also told him he would always eat his table. The King told his servants  they were to grow food for him because he was the grandson of his master. So Mephibosheth started to eat ate David's table as though he were one of his sons. Promises that need to be keep in my life have to do with promising to stick to God's word. Like I said before, we shouldn't just read God's word, but live by it.

Quarter 3: Week 1: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 5: 1-12:

             Quarter 3: Week 1: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 5: 1-12:
                      In this verse David has been made the King of Israel. He was only forty when he became, and he ruled for forty years. David and his men were told they could not over take Zion, but the did and it is now known as the city of David. David started to get more and more powerful, because God was with him. To please God moe like David did, would take faith, reading the Bible daily, and sticking to God's word. Not just going to church, not just reading the Bible, but living it out. Do what you learned in kindergarden and treat others how you would want them to treat you.

Quarter 3: Week 1: Tuesday: 1 Samuel 28: 1-25 :

             Quarter 3: Week 2: Tuesday: 1 Samuel 28: 1-25 :
                         Saul basicaly baned  mediums and spiritists, which means he was calling on the dead. He went to a lady who did mediums, but he was disguised, and asked her to bring a spirit back. At first she didn't want to, but he told her she wouldn't be punished, and he asked her to bring Samuel back. She ended up seeing it was Saul, but by that time Samuel had come to them. Samuel asked why he was called apon by him at this time. Saul told him they were being attacked and Samuel told him he should have gone to the Lord and not him. He told him the Lord would give him into the hands of their enemy. Some things that are occult practices are like what Saul did. It's bringing back the dead, praising the dead, and having witch craft involvemnet. The Lord isn't happy when we do these things, because when people die they die and we should leave that alone. Doing these sort of things will lead people straight to hell unless they admit to their sins.

Quarter 3: Week 1: Monday: 1 Samuel 25: 1-42 :

          Quarter 3: Week 1: Thursday:  1 Samuel 25: 1-42 :
                  In this reading it starts of talking about the death of Samuel. All if Israel mourned him after he was burried in Ramah. Shortly after his death David moved Paran. Where he moved there was a rich man named Nabal who was weathy and had many many goats and sheep. His wife was beautiful, but he was selfish and all. David heard he was shearing his sheep, so he sent men to greet him kindly. When they arrived they gave him the message from David, but he would not give him any food or water or sheep. The men came back and told David, so they all strapped on swords. One of Nabal's servents told his wife a man had been good to them, but Nabal only hurled insults at them. So she went to go feed them with the servent. When she got there she introuduced herself and gave him the food. Nabal was drunk alot, but one day when he wasn't he died. David then thought he would ask her to be his wife. God keeps me from making big mistakes just by helping me make right choices. If I won't let God in my life He won't help me with the things in my life.
