Joshua only gets one post

I finished Deuteronomy and wasn't it fun? I'm sorry I ever doubted it. I've really been enjoying this. As much as it seems like all my posts are poking fun at the bible I've learned a lot historically and about my own faith. Humor is just how I deal with the unknown. I hope I haven't offended anyone and if I have I'm sorry and I'd love to have an in depth conversation with you sometime about all the things I felt were too serious and personal to write in this journal.

I read all of Joshua in a day. It was basically filled with Joshua completing Moses' quest. Btw! Moses doesn't get to go to the promised land. What?! He does all that work and then bupkis! Poor Moses...Oh well, back to Joshua.

Joshua 12: 7, 9-24 The following are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the Israelites defeated on the west side of the Jordan...the king of Jericho,
the king of Ai,
the king of Jerusalem,
the king of Hebron,
the king of Jarmuth,
the king of Lachish,
the king of Eglon,
the king of Gezer,
the king of Debir,
the king of Geber,
the king of Hormah,
the king of Arad,
the king of Libnab,
the king of Adullam,
the king of Makkedah,
the king of Bethel,
the king of Tappuah,
the king of Hepher,
the king of Aphek,
the king of Lasharon,
the king of Madon,
the king of Hazor,
the king of Shumron-meron,
the king of Achshaph,
the king of Taanach,
the king of Megiddo,
the king of Kedesh,
the king of Jokneam in Carmel,
the king of Dor in Naphath-dor,
the king of Goiim in Galilee,
the king of Tirzah,
thirty-one kings in all.

Holy cow!! Joshua defeated all those kings? Way to go Joshua. What a resume! Kind of makes you think, "what am I doing with my life?"

As if I don't already have too much to do...

My name is Heather. I am a 25 year old music teacher applying to MBA programs in Southern California. I was born to an Episcopalian and a Quaker/Methodist. I have been thinking about religion for some time. You could call it struggling but I wouldn't. 


As my "just for fun" book of choice this fall I've decided to take a leaf out of former President George W. Bush's Book. I'm going to read the Bible before anything else this (school) year (besides my GMAT study guides). I've never read it from cover to cover before, only in sections during a service.


Where I am right now: 

Moses and Aaron are leading the hebrews to the Red Sea. 


What I never noticed before:

Moses was slow of speech. This makes me want to watch the movie The Ten Commandments and see how Charlton Heston portrays Moses. Maybe after all my applications are in (around the first week in January) I'll rent it and see how it is. Has anyone seen it? Is it any good?
