May 6th: Deuteronomy 23, Song of Solomon 3 & Acts 16-17

If this is my first time through the Bible, I don't expect to come across this line:

"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD."

They left that out of Veggie Tales. But yet, there it is. Also, in the same chapter, there is this:

"You shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out to it. And you shall have a trowel with your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig a hole with it and turn back and cover up your excrement. Because the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you."

Up for a challenge? Walk into a 5th grade Sunday school class and try and tell the boys about this. Oh yeah, and then create an application for them. Oh yeah, it this is literal. Literal. So glad I'm not reading this in a picture Bible.

Why do we make those?
