King Solomon

King Solomon

King Solomon was a wise man, but also a foolish one. He disobeyed God many times. King Solomon was the second son of David. Solomon was loved by many.
David, before his death, made Solomon co-regent so Solomon could become king. God appeared in Solomon’s dream and promised to grant him what he wanted as king. Solomon told God that he wanted wisdom to rule his people well. God gave him wisdom. He also gave him power and great riches.
Solomon was a great writer, poet, and scientist. He also turned Israel into a show place of the middle-East. Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, this angered God. Solomon’s wives turned him away from God, and he began to worship idols. God was angry and took the kingdom away from Solomon and gave it to one of his servants. For the sake of Solomon’s father, David, the Lord did not do this during Solomon’s lifetime. God, instead, took the kingdom from Solomon’s son.
Solomon knew he went against God and disobeyed him. Solomon wrote three books in the Bible, Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes. These books show Solomon’s remorse at disobeying God. He understood that his desire to please only himself did not lead to happiness. In the end, he learned what he wrote in Ecclesiastes,” Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.”

Ehud

Ehud

After the death of Othniel son of Kenaz, the Israelites sinned against God again. The Lord gave Eglon, king of Moab, power over Israel because of their sins. Eglon attacked Israel, and took over the City of Palms. The Israelites were ruled by Eglon for 18 years, so again the Israelites cried to the Lord, and the Lord gave them a deliverer named, Ehud.
Ehud was a left handed man, which was rare. He was the son of Gera the Benjamite. God chose Ehud because He knew that he would save Israel. Ehud was a brave and clever man. He listened to God and followed His commands.
The Israelites sent Ehud to bring their tribute money to Eglon. Ehud made a double edged sword and sent the tribute money to Eglon, who was quite a fat man. After he sent the money he headed back home with those who helped him bring the tribute, but he turned back and went to Eglon. When Ehud arrived he said to Eglon,”I have a secret message for you.” The king sent his servants out of the room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” Ehud walked to the chair Eglon was sitting in, and he pulled the double edged sword from his right thigh, with his left hand, and stabbed Eglon in the belly. Ehud left the room, locked the doors, and escaped. Eglon’s servants found that the doors were locked and they thought he might be using the latrine in the room. After standing there for a while feeling foolish, they got a key and unlocked the doors, and found their king dead. After Ehud escaped the kingdom, he told Israel they could take the land of Moab. The Israelites killed 10,000 of the Moabites’s strongest warriors. The Israelites gained the City of Palms, and there was peace in the land for 80 years.
Ehud followed God’s word, and fought for Israel. He knew that Eglon was powerful, but he still fought for his people. He proved that he was a brave and clever man. Ehud was one of the greatest judges.

Dog Breeder

Dog Breeder

Becoming a dog breeder when I’m an adult is a dream of mine. I have always loved dogs, but I love Labrador retrievers the most. I love being around dogs and playing with them.
To be a dog breeder, I have to look up or read information over the kind of dog I want to breed. I need to research the laws in my area, so I know if I need a license or permit. Next, I need to apply for a general business license. Once I meet these regulations, I can start searching for dogs.
I need to research well to find two healthy dogs to breed. I should also purchase insurance on my dogs in case they become ill or get injured. Once I have my puppies, I need to care for them and find them a good home.
As a dog breeder, I have to work a lot, but it’s rewarding. Dogs are part of the family, and it makes me happy to give them to a family who will love them like I do. Being a dog breeder is like no other job in the world.

What happens to those who go against God

What happens to those who go against God

Those who go against God’s will suffer the consequences. God has to discipline those he loves. In the book of Jonah, we see what happens to those who disobey God.
In the book of Jonah, God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn them that God’s judgement was coming if the people won’t turn from their wicked ways. Jonah disobeyed God’s command and got on a ship to escape God. God found Jonah on the ship and sent a storm. The people on the ship feared for their lives. Jonah told the people that the danger was his fault, and convinced the people to throw him overboard. Jonah was eaten by a whale, and spent 3 days and nights in its belly. While in the whale’s belly, he prayed to God, and asked him for forgiveness. The Lord ordered the fish to spit him out. The Lord again told him to get up, go to Nineveh, and warn them. Jonah went to Nineveh, and warned the people of God’s judgement. The people believed him, and turned away from their evil doings. God changed His mind, and did not destroy the city. Jonah was quite angry that God changed His mind about destroying the city. Jonah ran to the other side of the city, trying to avoid the will of God. God provided a tree for Jonah to protect him from the sun. The next day, God sent a worm to destroy the tree. Jonah could not avoid the will of God.
No one can avoid the will of God, no matter what they do. When we disobey God, there will be a consequence because He loves us. The book of Jonah tells us that God’s will is always done.

A Bloody Plague

A Bloody Plague

Many may say the plagues did not seem so bad, but they would be wrong. It was quite troublesome to live through.
It all started when I went out to work in the fields. While I was feeding the animals and harvesting the crops, I went to get water from the Nile. Once I arrived, I noticed that the river was bloody, and there were dead animals flowing through the stream. I was quite confused, and discovered that all the water in Egypt had turned to blood. Through the next couple of days many troubling situations were happening. People and animals were dying from lack of water and many were starving. As time passed I heard about a man named Moses, who many said was the one who caused all these events. I left Egypt and never came back.
The plagues were tormenting and unbearable. I still have many scars from those aching days. I will never forget the cries of the Egyptian children.

Ancient Egyptian Culture and Religion

Ancient Egyptian Culture and Religion

Ancient Egyptian religion and culture was very complicated. Egyptians mainly focused on the afterlife in their culture. Their burial process shows how much they believed in afterlife.
Burial is one of the most important parts of the Egyptian culture. Egyptians believed in two spirits called, “ka” and “ba”. Ka was a spirit double of a person, and ba was the life force of the person. The first organ removed before burial was the brain. They stored all the body’s organs in separate canopic jars. Then, they immersed the body in natron powder to get rid of the moisture. The body was then wrapped with bandages.
The Egyptians worshiped many gods. As the Egyptian culture began to grow, some gods became more important and organized. They built temples for each god to show how important they were. The greater the temple, the greater the god. Since pharaohs were seen as gods, religion and government began to overlap. This caused confusion with the Egyptian culture.
Ancient Egyptian culture was complex. Many Egyptians stopped believing in the worship of many gods. Eventually the religion was no more, and Christianity grew to be Egypt’s new religion.
