What if David really killed king Saul, who was taking a dump just 5 feet away from him and his 600 men? I can't really imagine that. One thing I know -- David is a man of integrity and righteousness, and if he has to fight like a man, he would, just like he did with Goliath.
Here's the thing: he has nothing against Saul.
Here's another thing: the sword David has is the blade that beheaded Goliath back in the good ol' days. Moreover, Saul is the anointed of the Lord! David even repented for cutting off a corner of Saul's robe -- the robe of the anointed king!
What is David thinking? HELLO? Anybody home? I'd take Saul down right away. I sure don't care whether he's half done or he's almost done with his business!
Oh well, Bible's got some crazy stories for sure! I mean, God used Saul's restroom break to test David's heart! That's just too funny. You certainly are Jehovah Funny!
After Saul's done with his business (did he wipe? if yes, with what? don't even mention the smell in that cave...) and leaves the men's room, David runs out after him because he just can't bear the smell.... I mean... the conviction to get right with Saul and to restore the relationship and honor for the anointed king. David even calls Saul "My father"!
I wonder what is on Saul's mind during David's 10-minute speech in chapter 24 verses 8-15: wait....did you just....WHAT!!! wait... there were 600 people right in there? This isn't a reality TV show you know... oh great... butt naked right there... That just cracks me up! What would George Bush think if there is a video camera installed in his very own restroom and he is being live-broadcasted across the nation? Of course that's a bit much of an exaggeration.
But, hey! God works all things for good =)
David & Saul become friends once again after a 5-hour-long car (maybe horse) chase scene from chapter 22 to 23! And I'm really glad that they do not shake hands after the reconciliation, if you know what I mean =)

ps. What's wrong with me? I should be studying for my math midterm! But I can't help but share this awesome story! Lord, I need Your strength and a supernatural memorization of equations!
pps. please pray for college campuses as the election gets closer. today there were NO on 8 people walking up and down Library Walk shouting "NO on 8". I talked to one of them, and you know how well that went. Lord have mercy!
ppps. However, this guy, Adam, who sprained his ankle playing football on Sunday has less pain after two prayers and he was real excited! I got his facebook and I believe that he's healed completely! Praise the Lord!
