May 5th: Deuteronomy 22, Song of Solomon 2 & Acts 14-15

Wow. This is awkward. I need to ask all of you for forgiveness. I mean, I know this is between me and God... but I just want to go out on a limb publicly. You see, the other day I sinned. This is a big confession. I knew the law:

"Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them again unto thy brother."

And yet there they were, that wandering herd of sheep. But I was busy. I know, I know, being busy is no reason to forsake a brother's herd. I shouldn't have just let them wander past. By the way, do you know how long it takes for a herd of sheep to wander by? Those things don't exactly have a central leadership structure. I had to hide for a LONG time. Seriously, I think I did like four Sudoku puzzles.

Again, sorry I didn't return the sheep. I was...uh...really busy.

Well, there it is. GLAD I got that off my chest.

Love me some "various laws" in Deuteronomy.
