I read: 2 Kings 11-13

Most of 2 Kings can be summarized like this: "There was a king and he was either a) completely evil or b) semi-righteous but still tolerated some idolatry. God wasn't really that happy. Some dude comes up and kills the king and then becomes king. There was a king and he was either . . ." You get the idea.

Tedious. Why do we even need this in the Bible? It's so superfluous thing. They wouldn't have to print the Bible on such thin paper if they cut out some of these "expendable" parts of the OT!

But then you stop and think: God forgives them every time. They never learn. They do it generation after generation after generation. Just continuously spitting on God's face. Then you realize who that reminds you of. And then you're kind of glad it's in the Bible because it makes you look, well, not as dumb.

Could it be? The first second-person dLog entry? :)
