My First Emailed Blog and David

So, did you know that you could email your blog to your blog and it
gets put up ? I just discovered it, here's my first go at it.

We've been studying David - I think I mentioned that. I've heard a
lot of messages about him - a man after God's heart. And, growing up
in church I thought I knew all the stories - David and Goliath, David
and Bethsheba, David being anointed by Samuel. But, our teachers were
talking about all these stages in David's life and how he approached
them and approached God in them, how God trained him. It was like -
whoa I didn't realize there was so much meat to his story.

For example - our teacher pointed out that when David started running
from Saul, all these wimps and runaways came with Him (1Sam 22:2), but
later on in his story, when Saul dies and they talk about all the men
with David. These men are now amazing warriors, they were called
mighty men (1 Chron 11:10-25). So what happened to them ? What did
David show or teach them to change them so completely? That's what I
want to learn from David's life.
