                                        STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

No, no, I'm not EVEN going to compare myself with the great King David, but he really fascinates me the way he handled multitasking.
You think you're busy? Check out the accomplishments of David. David was a shepherd, a poet,(I write a few), a prophet(I even do some predicting), a hero, a king, a soldier, a commander-in-chief, a statesman, an administrator, a musician, a leader, a devoted father,and a sinner.(I can relate to that one) He even invented some musical instruments. These are great accomplishments for one man's lieftime in any era. Pretty amazing man.
David played the harp for King Saul. There's musical talent in our family, but I didn't get any. Tom does say I'm good at harping though.
There was one tiny episode i experienced that was similar to David's. It also dealt with a sling shot. No, I didn't slay a giant. Years ago when Tom & I were first married, I walked to the back yard to see what he was doing. He had a sling shot and was attempting to shoot starlings off fence posts. He hadn't hit one. I said, "Let me see that thing." I picked up my first smooth stone and placed it in the sling shot. A starling flew overhead. I drew back and shot. The bird fell to the ground.
Tom said, "Kay, go back in the house."
This was one time, I'm sure David and I shared the same feeling. After a shot like that, we'd better hang up our sling shots.
