So for those who don't know, these pictures are post-its i put in my son's sammich box that he takes to school. My mom started the tradition by writing little notes on my lunches when i was a kid and i thought it was a pretty good idea so i kept it up. A while ago i heard a preacher mention how Proverbs was originally a training manual of sorts for young laddies growing up. i thought, yeah! i'll illustrate Proverbs in the post-its. When i made it through Proverbs i thought, well, why not continue right on through Psalms. i love the Psalms, they keep me sane.
But when i finished the Psalms i was like, well, where to now?
The answer came from Rascal and i's evening reading. i still read the Bible to Rascal at night before bed. And we had been reading from 2 Sam and there's just weird stuff going on all the time in there! Like the battle against Absolom. It has a very Entish feel, i thought. So that's what we're looking at here. An oak yanking up Absolom by his hair and saying, "oh, i think we've all had quite enough of you, young would-be king."
